NatWest POI

Not sure how much this will excite PGPSW readers, but..... Rolling Eyes

If you're a NatWest customer and use their internet banking site, there's a section called something like "Other Services" well hidden away which offers you POIs for their branches and ATMs. Handy when you're lost and skint.....uses OV2 for TT amongst other formats.

Apologies if this has been covered before Crying or Very sad

We do have NatWest POIs for Banks and ATM on our download page.

It would be interesting to see if NatWest have just used Postcode data for their locations, or whether they have used the actual locations.

If it has been generated from the Postcodes shown on the Branch Locator that was on their Web Site, it might leave a lot to be desired. Rolling Eyes

I only hope I'm proved wrong. Smile

Just checked the ones I know, and they're more or less right, tho' I was surprised to see one located in the centre of Windsor Castle.......always thought royalty banked with Coutts..... Wink

OK just downloaded the NatWest POIs from here, and did a side by side comparison of those branches I know, and conclude that there's not a lot of difference. The PGPSW ones also place a POI in Windsor Castle, and other branches are just as misaligned from their "true" location as the NatWest ones - often sited much further back from the road than they are in reality.

Don't think this matters very much as both sets will get you near enough to engage with the Mk II eyeball, but I'll stick with the PGPSW ones anyway!

And BTW, just set up for the first time the "Liz" voices for the camera warnings - worked first time, like it says on the box. Excellent. Wish I'd done this before, but I'm not convinced that even Liz is enough to woo me back to the 2210 and BT338 instead of the 6110 Navigator. IMHO, the less kit, the better.... Laughing
