TTN3 POI database

Having finally got my upgrade I cannot find the POIs that were in version 2. I often plan routes to gliding airfields, in version 2 most gliding sites appeared in the Airfield POI list in version 3 they don't. I was expecting the upgrade to have more POIs not less and wonder whether other POI lists have been reduced as well.

Hi Guy,

Have you downloaded the PocketGPS Airfields POI, which can be downloaded here. Thumbs Up

Regards,

The Petrol Stations built in POI in Navigator 3 has rather fewer entries than Navigator 2 - but seems more accurate. A great deal of petrol stations have closed in the past few years, probably due to the marginal profitability of petrol retailing operations. Increasingly it takes a significant non-fuel revenue stream (or you're a loss-leader for a supermarket) that you can probably keep going.

Certainly a lot of closed petrol stations in mid Bedfordshire have correctly disappeared in Navigator 3.

I know someone who is quite involved with that club. I think Allan K will be rather upset if London Gliding Club no longer exists!

Of course it's still there. Maybe TomTom or TeleAtlas have had a policy of rationalising the airports POI to include only those that provide public transport flights. Cranfield isn't in the Navigator 3 POI either - and I think that was in Navigator 2.
