Hide Mapopolis POIs categories

Hi all, Is it at all possible to hide the clutter of Places by Type categories in Mapopolis. In downtown Florence for example, there's a bizillion museums and tourist attractions. If I'm walking around, I'd like to see the actual streets when I'm zoomed out a little and not the POIs. Thanks in advance for any help. ::I::

Don't know about Mapopolis, but my Garmin has five levels of detail I can select, which will let me customize the density of POIs. Been a long time since I used Mapopolis, but it probably has similar settings.

I hope it's just a question of finding the settings. I've looked at this for a long time now and can't find anything. The manual doesn't mention anything about it either. There's a general detail function I can choose to hide a certain amount of data and hide the POIs when zoomed out, but that also hides a lot of the smaller streets. Then when zoomed in if I choose to hide some detail with this function, it hides the streets but not the POIs which is irritating. I really like their maps but the software is starting to look a bit lame. I guess the search for good maps continues and I'll start looking at Garmin. Thanks. ::I::

AFAIK, There is no way to turn off POI's in Mapopolis. Here's the official Mapopolis forum.

Thanks for the link. It's apparently on someone's wishlist since October. Hopefully they'll listen and do it soon as it's something most of the other software solutions have already. ::I::
