Various: POI Management

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?
Makers file: Current separator between name, lat, long and Zoom is a Tab.
Seems GMapcatcher need perfect alignement between these values and limited 
number of digit after the coma for lat and long:

Replace this separator by as Slash or ; underline
Add a possibilty to choose the Maker (Marker01.png)
Get the  name of the POI when I click on the marker

What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?
To be easier to generate markers file from other application.
As information: (I use it and it works perfectly) under windows Vba it's 
possible to lauch GMapcatcher and automatically load the marker file with 
a Shell:
Shell """C:\Program Files\GMapCatcher\maps.exe"" ""C:\here the Correct 
Path\.googleMaps\output.kml""", vbMaximizedFocus

hope that can help.

Hello Hello

Yes the elements in the marker file are TAB separated, and I would prefer not 
to 
change it because it will create a backwards incompatibility. 
 - I'm not sure what you mean by "perfect alignment" is just a TAB separated list.
 - In my tests I have not seen any limitation in the number of digits after the comma 
see attached file.

There is already a "task" to show more information for a marker see: Issue 75 

I guess that you have programming skills if you want to join this project let 
me know 
, your help is appreciated.

 I was doing some reading more digging and I have good news for you, we currently can 
read the marker file with any separator! It actually works without separators, 
that is 
because we read using "regular expressions", see sample attached.

We do the reading here: 
def read_file(strInfo, filePath):
