    Can I control the colour of the map icons?
    Suppose I was using 'Minimap Sidebar' to map all of the places where I could find old books. Now these can be found at 'Secondhand book stores', 'Opportunity/Charity Shops', and even our local Libraries sell their old stock. However, I am more likely to find an interesting book at a 'Secondhand book store' than an 'Opportunity/Charity Shop' (because book stores ONLY sell books). What would be really good would be some way in which I could control the colour of the icon on the map. Say, green for 'Secondhand book stores', blue for 'Opportunity/Charity Shops' and yellow for 'Libraries'. This way I could know the types of shops being displayed on the map. Of course, colour would be one way of visually classifying the map. Numbers or letters could also serve this purpose, if colour is difficult or not suitable. What do you think?

    But it was a little difficult deleting around 500 addresses from the list. If I try to scroll the list too fast, the scrolling process stops and the whole widget starts being dragged away (as if the widget is try to 'drag and drop' itself). It wasn't quite so easy deleting 500 addresses from the list.
    Do you think this is one of the best points? Mark it as a good point

    A 'Delete All' function so imports of '*.minimap' files don't double/treble/etc locations
    First off, a great Firefox add-on. What would be really handy though, would be a 'Delete All' function so imports of '*.minimap' files don't double/treble/etc locations. I have another tool that I wrote that finds locations of book stores. I have changed my tool to also write a 'bookstore.minimap' file and was able to import it into the Minimap add-on. Great. So next time I run my tool (in a few days time), it creates my 'bookstore.minimap' file and I import it, and I get double the locations in Minimap. What would be good would be to clear out the existing list before a fresh import. A 'Delete All' function. This would be a simple extension of the code you already include for 'Delete' from your popup menu. What do you think?
