I'm slowly (very slowly) getting to grips with my 2210 and tt5.21 with the helps of a lot of guys here.

How can I upload POI's such as B & Q's, KFC's and Pizza Huts which have recently sprung up in my area? I have their grid references. Is there a section (similar to the camera notification section) where I can input the references to send, or is there an e.mail address I can send them to.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

There is no facility to upload corrections/additions to POI categories.

The POI Downloads that are hosted here are purely collections that have been sent in as complete.

The best way to place the information on the Web is to find someone who is hosting a category that is missing the information you have. Email them and offer to supply the corrections.

I'm sure they will be grateful of any update information. I know I appreciate the feedback on the POI's that I have created.

Thanks for the response.

One final question on this subject: The POI updates I have are those mentioned in my original post i.e. B & Q, KFC and Pizza Hut. How would I go about finding the hosts and of hosts of other POI's I may find needing updated?

Thanks again.

A while back I submitted a POI set for all of the SAAB dealerships on the UK mainland. However, the email seems to have dropped into a black hole somewhere as they have never appeared on the site.

This is a pity since I have taken so much from this site and was trying to give back to the community. It would be useful if there was a submission point for this sort of thing or are the site admins only interested in the Safety Cameras?

The submission point is reviews@pocketgpsworld.com?subject=POI addition

You have to remember that most of the work done in the background is done before, and after, a full days work. This doesn't leave much room for Quality Time if another full day is spent on Website issues, (I get comments, sometimes. Embarassed).

A lot of POI's can be found if you see a 'WWW' at the bottom of a Posting. Also very often there are details in the Poster's Signature.
