I had an idea to help increase the number of POIs in the database. Each week I'll post a thread on a different catergory and you have to submit a POI in that category near you.

This week - Food & Drink - Independent Bakeries

Current number - 18

I've already submitted a few in this category recently in the Edinburgh area.

Don't forget to post telling us where you added one!

I have to say, I think you've hit on a very good idea to motivate people into improving the POI collections, but I think I would have chosen a different category for the first week!
Maybe, something we all need, like "Cash Machines", or something leisure-related like Swimming pools or Football grounds?

To be honest I can't think of any time I would ever need to "Navigate to..." a bakery!
(although, come to think of it I could just murder a doughnut.... Very Happy )

You're joking! At least leave it a week.
