Are there subtle differences? If not, I would prefer to choose one and discourage the other. 10.000 uses are not completely ignorable, but they still indicate this is in the beginning, given that we have millions of POIs.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers<br></div><div>Martin<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div> </body>
