Definitions

The number of points per Point Set is limited only by the resources of the PC. Points use very few resources so many thousand can be displayed on the map at the same time.
Points cannot be directly uploaded to a GPS and cannot be included in a Route.
Points can be used to add numerous names and/or locations of objects to a map.
Points are used for editing the Magellan Datasend POI's.
Points are used by the OziMC add-on for editing the Name feature.
Points are used for Importing ESRI Shape files (of type point).
Point Set - Groups points together, each set is made up of zero to an unlimited number of points. Each point set has its own set of properties which can be adjusted, these properties affect all points in the set.
