Is this behaviour standard? I was expecting the added pois to show up in the index as separate entries. AS for the chepa gas stations, they are now mixed with normal gas stations and hence more difficult to select.
RTx's in version 5.x, 6.x and 7.x (it is supposed to change with 8.0) do not support adding POI as TomTom does. The only way to add POI is to rebuild the original lists with added POI into them. But there is no way to assign them new icons (or type in TxMapEditor language) to have new lists.

Interresting. I've never tried a name with an "_" prefix. It's a pity my RT4 is Out of rder, I would have like to test it.

Yes, remove the original list(s) and add your onwn with the same icon.
