Description
Is there a plan to support own POI csvs that can be searched to navigate to? Also adding own categories and POI specific symbols when displaying POIs as a map? For example I added a csv as a map with hotspots. On the map they should be displayed with an own symbol and they should appear in the POI menu, so that I can search and navigate to them.

I'm not sure what this issue is about in detail. For what I understand:
- External POIs should become more easier to integrate
- This POIs should be customized in their visual appearance
- They should be browsed in categories (I guess via the usual search dialog?)
IMHO this means, that we need to integrate more common formats as GPX/KML/ ... to simplify integration of shared POI files. This formats have internal styling enabled. Extending the search dialog will be a good idea and needs to be integrated hand in hand with the upcomming restyling of the dialog.
This would be a useful feature.
As an aside, hotspots are already supported with the type poi_wifi which uses the icon wifi.xpm. These POIs will appear in the simple POI list: both in the main list and in the "Unknown" list (the last POI category icon)...
