Show POIs from more than one POI DB

In short:

In the POI dialog, it should be possible to display POIs from more than one POI DB at once.


Long:

The discussion in http://help.locusmap.eu/topic/map-objects-clickable-sometimes made me think of this:

If it isn't easily possible to merge POI DBs, it would be great to be able to show POIs of more than one area (country or region) at the same time. Especially when being close to a border, that would make things much easier. It would also solve the problem of having OAM maps with different coverage than the Locus maps - that is I bought Lomaps and want to use the POI DBs for OA maps, but can't if the OAM covers more area than the single Lomaps.

It is indeed overdue to give up the association of maps and POI by name convention.

In POI selection, just offer the POI DBs that cover nearby areas. The logic as such is already available.

Above implies also, that POIs can be downloaded separately from maps. Another overdue topic.
