POIConverter was written with Sat Navs in mind and, at the time, 3 fields were a luxury. I don't know of any Sat Nav that can use 10.
Do you need that many?

To extract POI details from the Microsoft AXE file I run a program called ST2GPX written by James Sherring and this will only return 3 fields. Originally there were only 3 available, ie Name, Name 2 and Information but Auroroute now supports more fields like MapPoint. James no longer supports ST2GPX so there is no way that I can improve my program. Like you I would like to be able to access the additional fields. The Autoroute data is held in a database file so it is difficult to read.
