App warns about duplicates on name only during import

Not a Problem

I have a file with somewhere around 3000 POI. When I import the file to a folder I get a dialog warning me on duplicates. I selected "Ignore" and continued.

As I got the name of the POI in the dialog, I looked it up.

And the result was that I had two POIs in the same village with just the village name.

So they where different in everything but the name.


If I had selected overwrite, I would have lost a number of POIs.


I would say this is a bug and suggest that you also compare the koordinates to determine if they truly are duplicates.

Hello Stefan,


hard to say. From my point of view, it really depend on source of data.


Because I have no clear opinion on this, I'll gladly listen some other feedback from other users ...
