Highlighting online POIs:
After the crashfix in 4.29.0.6, I have now looked into this in more detail.
I would have expected a filtering of the normal LoPoint icons, as there are far too many of them, many of which are not always needed. Especially in urban areas. But highlighting also has its advantages. Adding unlisted categories via the search is sometimes a bit tedious, as numerous individual points are also found. But ok as a first version.
And as I already wrote, the "Activate" button is not implemented correctly in my opinion. It has the same effect as the normal switch to show/hide the LoPoints. It would make more sense and be more logical for me if the "Activate" button only controlled the highlighting of the added categories.
Example: I have added the categories shelter, spring, viewpoint and picnic area. If I am on a hike, I would like to show these highlighted if necessary, otherwise not. This should be controllable via the "Activate" button in the new menu. However, the normal small LoPoint icons should remain visible when the main switch in the left panel Map content is active.
At the moment, highlighting is always active, as both switches have the same effect and are "coupled". If I activate one, the other is automatically activated too. I have to delete all the categories and add them again if necessary to switch highlighting on or off.
