Subscription system for POI libraries
-
I am stealing @Lex-Kloet-RX his list of waypoint libraries:
( I hope you don't mind Lex!
)
This inspired me to the following:
Anyone who maintains a list of POIs can make them public through the MRA website. This might look like making your routes available for anyone or just friends. This will make available a list of all publicly available POI libraries.
In this list a user can choose whatever library he wants to use, just by placing a checkmark. All maintenance done on a list by the owner, will reflect immediately to all the subscribed users.
This might look a bit like the wordpress plugin system. Select the POI libraries you like or are relevant for you, "install" them, and they are added to your planner.
I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

Good idea. I have several nice lists that I can share. But making it "Public" also requires a search function (adjustment).
Technically relatively easy to achieve with, for example, "Google Search Engine". I have no idea which search engine runs on Routelab. -

Is there already a search available from within the MRA system, to search for public POI libraries? I am unaware of that.

@Con-Hennekens
There is a search engine but it has a limited reach (currently).
Sorry for the confusion. I'm making a small adjustment to my answer above. -

Most appealing for me would be to be able to select libraries in a (searchable) list, and not needing to re-import but automatically be kept on par with the one who maintains the list.
Following this method we could even think a bit further:
- public contributions to a library (moderated by the owner)
- some kind of donation system for the owner of a list
Just thinking aloud

@Con-Hennekens if I would have great secrets in it, I wouldn't have posted it, so "go your gang"
