Just found a great site .........
http://www.poidownload.co.uk/
you will find a drop down list with hundreds of categories of businesses.
Click "GENERATE POI" and you (almost) immediately get a download of a POI
Convert this asc file to a csv and import to favourites.
Not checked out the accuracy yet - will post back later

If you download " poi edit " ( see GPS Central, POI-sync left side of thses pages ) you can transfer all the POI sites that you want as ' POI categorys'. So no need to save as favourites. You even get an icon. The site you refer to is on the autoupdate.
I find the POI-edit excellent. When you have set it up, all you need to do is plug in the PDA and it updates all the sites for you. |

Hi
I've just looked at this site and download the POI-Edit program. Looks very good. I can import using Destinator Console a file into Favorites and that all works OK, but how do you get the file to appear in the POIs rather than the Favorites. _________________ Dave R (h5djr)

I've made a bit of a up !
As you can see, I am a beginner. I found this post after using the search facility. I put in 'Tom Tom POI' and up popped this post.
Sorry if I have confused. Will be more carefull in the future and use the search more carefully. _________________ WHERE HAVE THOSE KIDS COME FROM? |

Be a little bit careful of the data on the http://www.poidownload.co.uk site as much of it seems to be out of date. I work part-time for B+Q and the poidownload site lists 178 stores. The POI available on the Pocket GPS World site lists 314. The current number of B+Q stores is actully 339. _________________ Dave R (h5djr)
