Multiple POIs (400 points) can only import one at a time?
Solved
I just got Locus Pro and I have hundreds of POIs that I have made on Google Earth (.kmz files). I would like to import them into the app for field use. So far, I have found I can only import one at a time. I have 3 devices that need these points, I would like to reduce the time needed to import them into the app. Any suggestions?

If I should help in any way, let me know.
Just if I understand correctly, then few info:
1. you cannot in locus select multiple files for import now
2. if you want to import more files, you may pack them into one ZIP file and import it
3. anyway in ZIP, you cannot use other compressed files, like other ZIP or KMZ files. This will not work

I started by copying individual kmz files into the import folder of locus. From that point in Locus I had to select each point, one at a time to get it to show up on the map. Also, by putting the point in the import folder I lost the color coding shown above.
Gynta has shown me by saving the temporary places folder within Google Earth to the desktop and then inserting it into the mapitems folder within locus I am able to import all my points at one time (just did 400 this morning in 5 min) and still retain my color coded points. Inserting the file into the import folder results in black and white points (you can see one of the points inserted into the import folder has shown up black and white above).
I have learned when using Goolge Earth to create points and paths it is important to save the temporary folder file to the desktop (shows up as one file) and then import it into the mapitems folder.
Thanks for your help, this is incredibly successful!
