Hi oooimy, Bros WeiQi00 and norwadi are right, your MapSource unable to show the mapset name at top tool bar is because you only installed one mapset in your PC. Try to install one more mapset (other than MFM map) then you should be able to see the mapset name. :D

Hi Feins,

Which POIs are you referring to, any examples? If you mean Custom POIs, those can be viewed/searchable only in device where the GPI files are stored.
