TomTom POIs - why only first word capitalised?

mccririck

Why does only the first word in a POI name have a capital letter at the start? It's something I cant quite fathom, it looks messy and amateurish.

yep, and it's been like this from the very beginning. We have told TomTom a few times, but they never listened. I guess once you start to correct it for one country/language you'll have to do it for all. And that is messy as each country has their own capitalisation rules.

I might be being a bit daft here, but couldn't it be boiled down to one simple rule for all countries? Namely:

Capitalise the letter if the user has pressed Shift. Otherwise don't.

Spot on! It shouldn't be rocket science.

eish you guys are so harsh on these programmers ... don't you know it takes a lot of man hours to make a simple adjustment like that ...don't complicate things as they only seem to know how to remove stuff and not add Shocked
