I would suspect that some are derived from post codes and some are actual, I would expect that over time many post code ones will be updated to actual as I have updated some as i can verify them in my area.

I'm not seeing the categories :o(
All I get is this:

3. Select POIs (date of last update : number of POIs)
Loading POI categories...


I click refresh and wait for eternity and get nothing (apart from 'done' in the btm left of my screen).
I'm using IE7.
Many thanks,
Will

A couple of queries about posting POI changes:-

I have noticed on a few of my recent posts that the changes have appeared but the Goggle map shows them slightly away from where I added them with the cross hairs on the map. Are there any plans to allow for the co-ordinates to be keyed in directly instead of using the map? Does anyone know why the ICON later is shown at a slightly different position to that selected?

A couple of recent changes submitted such as ID 80177 show the ID not underlined and therefore not editable whereas older POI such as ID 51570 are shown underlined when the ICON is clicked on the goggle map. Why is this?

In the above example, I chose to edit the existing POI numbered 51570 moving the location since the HSBC Newbury bank has changed location recently, the EMail received refers to "Confirm 51570..." but this does not appear to have happended since 51570 remains at the old location and a new 80177 has been added, albeit slightly off position as explained in my first point.

Yes you can enter co-ordinates in decimal degrees. There is an example in the Quick Help text to the right of the submission form.

The pending POI are also shown on the Google map. POI 80177 is still pending as the position is some way (75 metres) from the road that you mention in the Comments for your submission. POI 51570 is the one that you want to repostion Smile

The icons for pending entries are slightly different in appearance to those active ones but the difference is not always very obvious.

Please can you look at POI 80177 again and resubmit it as to me it seems to be in the wrong position.

Also a plea from me (the reviewer) to all you submitters - please use the Comments field. It really does help reassure me that the change that you have sent in is really what you wanted.

Richard

I have just re-submitted a changed to ID 80177 which as per the comments should be on Northbrook Street. It is South of M&S and north of Boots the Chemist.

Thanks Richard.
In return, I have just submitted a new Motor Racing Circuit. As a follower of the sport I was impressed with the file and it took quite a bit of research to find a circuit missing !

It would be interesting certainly at some point to see a forum page detailing how many amendments and new POI's have been added.

Been using poiedit to update, but just checked and it would seem that some categories not included, specifically looked for park & ride, or am i being too early for poiedit being updated, comment(s) would be apreciated


This post has been overlooked. I use(d) POIEdit as well. The initial post about the new database implies POIEdit will not be updated. Why? Are we now expected to select all the categories we wish to have and manually download updates or will POIEdit allow the use of the new database?

Regards.

Come on guys give me some help Smile When submitting a change to an existing POI please use the Comments box to say what you are changing, eg position, title, details or whatever combination.

As it is all too easy for people to forget to update the co-ordinates when changing the position of a POI I will reject all changes that have the same co-ordinates as the referenced POI unless the Comments field states the type of change being requested.

Richard
