Premier Travel Inn

[PaulWH]

To avoid confusion for those who compile the POI's Whitbread the parent company of Premier Travel Inns are changing the trading name of "Premier Travel Inn" to "Premier Inn" from sometime around October 2007 onwards.

I thought that Whitbread already provided a free download of POIs for this chain? (Although it's not accurate!!)

Years ago with a trusty Psion 5 and 5mx and a Garmin GPS12, I created the original POI for Travel Inn and Travelodge as I was often put there overnight when I was with HSBC. To be honest I did it from their brochures in the evenings when I was bored and it served me very well. I spent a lot of time on the road and a lot less in the bank branches.

I hope you guys have updated things since my initial contribution when TomTom were www.palmtop.nl.

This was in the days of RoutePlanner and CityMaps - how things have improved!

One would have thought that major chains of hoteliers etc would promote themselves by including a downloadable link of all their locations and save the rest of us a lot of work in our bored evenings. I fully congratulate TomTom linking with the English tourist board.

My point is, do these companies not realise the help it would provide reps with who could spend a month away from home living from a suitcase. I certainly chose places where work and accomodation were close. I used to look at my destination and then find accomodation nearby. I am sure most do the same.

Now I do not travel for work, it is purely pleasure, but if I see a place close by somewhere I will be having a break at, that is where I stay. What an ideal way for TomTom to get sponsors for their POI.

Yet so many opportunities are being missed. e.g. how come if I search for a doctor nearby, my nearest are in Ireland?
