Merge the screens for selecting POIs along the route #6326

Typically, on a long journey, we may be looking out for multiple types of POIs simultaneously. For example, filling station, restaurant and ATM.

But OsmAnd can display only one type of POI along the route.

Desired: Let OsmAnd display multiple types of POIs simultaneously.

I just discovered that this is already possible. But I missed that because the double-tick button is not conspicuous. Plus, there is no need to have two separate screens for single selection and multiple selections. Both can be combined in a single screen.

Thirdly, the search facility is provided in single selection mode only. Why?? It can be needed in multiple selection also.

Fourthly, if we select one or more types of POIs, the first screen (single selection) does not reflect this selection. (expected: all selected types should be shown with different color).

Thus, on the whole, it is best to offer only one screen (the one with the check-boxes), with search.
