I have recently submitted a few new and amended poi's and included as much information as I thought useful,probably too much in some instances.
Included were 2 new Tennis clubs in Eastbourne, one very established (245591) and one relatively new.(245590)
I have now downloaded the files and notice that most of the information I submitted has been removed.Well that's ok by me , but they both only state the town Eastbourne and street/area with no mention of the respective club name which I would have thought was essential,
Is this the policy for clubs in general , because if so, I feel omitting the club name is potentially confusing.
In the 2 examples above , I expect many people will be going to Devonshire Park ltc next week but woul not know that it was in College road.

I have to bear in mind that different satnavs have different methods of presenting the POI information. TomToms will only show the info in the Title field. I believe Garmins, and probably others can make use of the Details field. I have to compress the data, and try to make it still legible/usable.
In the case of the 2 POIs you mentioned I have amended the shown information. I'm away from home at the moment and was using a very flaky internet connection. A weak excuse I know, but it was frustrating at times. I didn't appreciate that "Tennis in the Park" was a Community Tennis Club.
The comments field is used to help me check the location and, if necessary, determine if the right category/info is being used.
Edit: Could I ask that you restrict the use of All Capitals, as I then have to edit ALL the text. This applies to quite a few submitters, who I hope might be reading this, and is not directed specifically at you. _________________ Richard

Oldboy ,Thanks for the quick reply.
I didn't appreciate the requirements for different units, it must be a nightmare for you.
Sorry about the capitals, I should have known better, but a reminder in the instructions might help my failing memory in future.
I will try harder, but don't bank on it. _________________ TT GO 6100
