Only show some LoPoint categories?

[seldor]

Hi
I'm a long-term user of LocusMap classic and am currently evaluating the new Locus Map 4. One thing I noticed whery quickly that it appears that I can only show ALL or NONE of the LoPoints of a map. In Locus Map 3 I could selectively only show some. I usually don't want to see every church, toilet and mountain when just browsing for a restaurant or a shop.
I hoped the feature of the "highlightet points" would solve that but unfortunately, I can only have highlighted points when ALL points are enabled too, leading to a very cluttered map with irrelevant icons.
Is there a way to either show only some categories or at least only show the highlighted categories (but not all) ? When I disable LoPoints, the highlights are disabled too.
This currently makes lopoints pretty unusable for me :-(
Thanks

You are aware that you can configure poi/highlighted sizes? At least you can make the unwanted poi appear small. A lot could be done here, yes.

The old system is still in place - "Other POIs".

Yes I can change those, but that doesn't help me - When I want to see some POIs, I need them in a normal size, so that would both affect wanted and unwanted POIs, even the highlighted pois would be barely visible then.
Uder "Other POIs" I don't see anything, probably this is only for older maps or manually downloaded POI databases? I'd really like to go with LoMaps and it seems newer LoMaps have their POIs integrated differently and won't show up there?

Hello seldor,

please check the option to highlight specified categories on the map. It does not allow to hide certain categories, but may help to see what you need to see.

Yes I found that, but this does not reduce the cluttering. Displaying all POIs is very, very cluttered in some regions (especially cities). Highlighting some is nice but then there are so many icons, the map is hard to read.
I upvoted the linked idea (thanks freischneider) and also this idea I would have proposed otherwise: https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/38378-show-only-highlighted-lopoints-on-map

I think that would be the most elegant (and easy) solution for most people having this problem. With that, only some categories could be displayed using the highligh feature without the clutter of all the remaining POIs

As for Other Pois, you can use OAM Pois there. Not sure if it still requires a same-named OAM map. I also see Lomaps POIS there, but maybe that's because it's an older database.
