 Posted: Sun Oct 09, 2005 11:58 pm Post subject: The McDonalds POI |
 |
|
Hi,
I bought my I3 the other day and it's absolutely brilliant!! :D I've got the Speedcams, mcd's POIs (many thanks to MaFt I believe!) and they've made it even better.
I've a very small request for help - I would like to separate the McDonalds section into 2; McDonalds and McDs Drive Thru (for ease when driving). Where did the location information come from to make the POI??
Many thanks for the help and the excellent files MaFt!

i'm pretty sure that all that mcd's poi's are drive thru...no point in having town centre mcd's on an car gps.

Ahh, I see - it started guiding me towards one that I was sure was just taking me into a town centre so I bottled it turned around!! More trust/patience in the i3 in future!
Thanks, |

| Same here. It will guide you to the centre of Inverness to MacDonalds sit in or take away. No nearby parking. |

you could email mcd's and ask them for the locations of all thier drivethrus and find them on mapsource and download to the i3...a bit of a time consuming job to do probely .........

yes, VERY time consuming...
however, if everyone who uses it makes a not e of which ones are drive-thru then i can update the file to include this data and eventually do a new list of all McD's and McD's with drive-thru
