what poi's would you like to see on here.

I wish there was a POI for the Harrison Hot Springs Resort, In Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia, Canada.

My Nuvi could not find it.

Couldn't find any POIs for CB shops

It could be in 1 of the hotel/motel/resort poi files though.

with just about any truck stop. CB dealers are getting very few and far between since the fad died about 30 years ago. I turned mine off and it ended up in the trash 20 years ago because off all the trash talk and profanity.

Sunrise and sunset times by State Capital time zones

I was looking for repair shops, not just dealers. I agree about the profanity. I still use a CB for my job, locally driving a tri-axle dump truck. Asphalt plants, quarries, we use the CB to talk to the scale house, loaders and whatnot. Don't use 19 much. The only "truck stop" Philadelphia had closed years ago because of lot lizards and drugs. There's a shop I use in Delaware but I wasn't near there when I needed a new coax one day. Don't carry around a copy of the yellow pages so it would have been nice to have a POI on my GPS.

Any two-way dealer will have all the necessary tools and parts to do repairs but repairing a CB isn't worth the cost. They are also a good bet for the antenna parts as well. It's the same as an 11 meter ham rig, even though they really don't like admitting it.

Most shops will turn you down on repairs as they lack the service manuals with the settings.

I would like to see Blockbuster kiosk broken down like Redbox.

.... repairs or sales, it would have been nice to have on the GPS that day.

Repair or sales for what?

Byker said he needed a new coax for his CB.

Five Guys Burger joints.

CB shops

I have since gone to the one I normally go to, but the day I needed it I wasn't anywhere near that particular shop.

It is here, Box Car has uploaded it.

HI emanjungle

I would like a poi file that directs me to boat ramps on Minnesota Lakes not just the lakes.

How about Jets pizza

How about a POI for highly rated and popular places from YELP

Seeking all states, veterans of foreign wars locations.

I checked the factory loaded POI's in my GPS in those type of files... and found nothing.

Perhaps some custom POI's available here at PoiFactory might happen to include it in some kind of a larger travel and lodging POI.

Would be nice to have GPX files for Nissan Dealerships.

Thx, Red 08

Check for American Legion Post.

I would love to see a list of water falls of the east coast, at least, as I live in NY and travel through NJ, PA, and New England area. Thank you

In the search bar, type in 'waterfalls'. When the results show up, click on the POI tab. You may be surprised at what shows up...

... in .ov2 format for Tomtom

it's the dog's fault

See here:http://www.poi-factory.com/node/1995

Its in gpx format. Open it in EPE and then save as a ov2 for Tom Tom.

There are 4 campgrounds that are in Harrison Hot Springs. Not sure which one you were asking about:

Harrison Springs Camping & RV Park
740 Hot Springs Rd
Harrison Hot Springs,BC V0M 1K0
-121.780358 49.289775

Springs RV Resort at Harrison
670 Hot Springs Rd
Harrison Hot Springs,BC V0M 1K0
-121.781073 49.292550

Glencoe Motel & RV Park
259 Hot Springs Rd
Harrison Hot Springs,BC V0M 1K0
-121.785012 49.302018

Sasquatch Park
No address listed
-121.704 49.356 (these coordinates were taken from the directory) I could not pinpoint this campground using google earth.

The information on the parks was obtained from Trailer Life Directory and I used Google earth to obtain the coordinates for the first 3. Hope this helps.

This thread encouraged me to ask about the value of CBs today for the the ordinary 4-wheeler traveler. Having just finished a 1,600 mile and 2,400 mile roadtrips (Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive on the second trip), I was able to stop into several large truckstops where CBs were widely available. Seeing the retro Cobra 29s reminded me of my days during the 70s when I had both Cobras and Midlands.

I almost bought a 29 out of nostalgia while on the road, but stopped for the same reason I'm asking here: is there a value in having one anymore for the non-professional driver? If I got on, would anyone even "come back"? And what would be the usual channel(s) where useful chatter could be found?

Just curious, since I could use the money for a new GPSr if I didn't get a radio just to re-live the good old days.

I love this place. There are 21 of them in Western Canada. I see camerabob just updated one for the US.
Wonder if he could add the Canadian locations to this file?

Where are these locations posted? I can't add what I can't find...

Thanks. Look for it in a little while, tonight, maybe.... I have no life!

I think stadiums would be cool. Maybe separate ones for baseball, football, etc.

All ballparks are already available. Check it out.

Because it is.

For future reference, just use the 'Contact' tab in any person's page to send a note to the maintainer. In the POI page, click on the maintainer's link or icon.

I would like to see a recent Love's Travel Center POI if you don't mind.
Thanks

adopt it if it isn't being maintained?

I'd like to see a file for all the Seadoo personal watercraft dealers in the US.

Included in "Truck/RV Fuel" POI

Don

A farm stay is where working farms and ranches provide lodging to urban travelers looking for a country experience. There is a list of them at

http://www.farmstayus.com

but I was not able to easily tease out the address information to create a POI. I would appreciate any effort to take up the challenge of creating a Farms Providing Vacation Lodging POI (or Farm Stay POI)

I read, there's a number of small cities located on big highways, that collect significant chunk of their revenue (say, 75% like Randolph, MO) solely from the traffic tickets. http://www.insurance.com/auto-insurance/explained/auto-speed... ; one could say, such a city is one big speed camera. Maybe it would be good idea to present these parasites as POI's.

Building on your idea--it probably wouldn't hurt to have a general 2-way radio shop listing (not just for CB equipment, but also commercial UHF equipment and the like).

Also, as others have mentioned, there are similarities between CB radio equipment and 10m amateur radio equipment to the point quite a lot of amateur radio shops can sell basic equipment (like coax and antennas)--there are even a few shops that deal in both 10m radios and CB equipment that can do repair on the more common CB radio brands.

(That said--the amateur radio shops POI hasn't been updated in a while and could probably stand adoption, to be honest.)

There isn't any single place where there are addresses, just general locations. It would take forever logging to each individual website just to get their address. Then maintaining the file would be next to impossible.

These are all in Canada..but I sure would like to see a POI for them..any chance that might happen?

I will see what I can do.
