Ability to see all POI details
Quote from Stresspuppy on 14.01.2024, 11:34I am importing POIs from a GPX file and the description has lots of information. When you click on the POI in Scenic, it gives you the first part of the name and then "...". Is there any way to see the rest of the information?
Example (excerpt from GPX):
<wpt lat="38.319096000" lon="-77.504487000">
<name>VA; I-95; SB; FREDERICKSBURG REST AREA/WELCOME CENTER; MM131</name>
<cmt>VA; I-95; SB; FREDERICKSBURG REST AREA/WELCOME CENTER; MM131</cmt>
<desc>VA; I-95; SB; FREDERICKSBURG REST AREA/WELCOME CENTER; MM131</desc>
</wpt>Also, it seems to pick up the <name> field. If the <cmt> and <desc> have different values, is that information available/visible anywhere? It would be great to tap on the POI and it pop up a box (like it does now) and then tap on that box in some way and it bring up a modal box with all the details.
Thanks.

Quote from Guido on 15.01.2024, 09:25I'm afraid at the moment Scenic only picks up the name field when import GPX waypoints into a POI group. This is the result of decision I made at the very beginning (the database only allows names now). I'm planning to change this in the future, but as this requires a database change, this is not a simple change.
Regarding only seeing the first part of the name... this is an easier change. I'll add this to the feature request list.

Quote from Stresspuppy on 15.01.2024, 09:34That makes sense. As a guy with a developer background, I very much understand "changing the database" is quite an undertaking. I think I can just modify the name field to have some additional information that will be helpful once you've made the future change (understanding that the addition/change could be whenever).
Thanks!
