Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Super Walmart discussion thread

 

I decided to start a discussion thread regarding this set of files.

This is one of the most frequently updated files on the site and I could really use the help of one of our veteran members to take this project over for me.

What I am looking for is someone who is very active on the site that can keep up with all the updates that happen with all of the files in this one POI Package: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/9268

If you have additions or corrections to make one of the files on this list, please post them here in this thread.

Thanks,

Miss POI

Using Google earth I corrected the coordinates and am confident of the Gainesville TX location, but the view of Lawton OK using Google earth isn't clear. There are however, pictures of the intersection where the store is located using the store locator and they do show a Wal-Mart at the corrected location. The only problem is there are two locations in Lawton OK the location I corrected has a fuel center, was that the one you visited? rolleyes

Wal-Mart & Sam's Club Locations added in AZ & UT

Niceman submitted addresses for about 20 missing locations in AZ & UT. I found the coordinates using my usual tools but some I had to rely on the maps provided by the store locator. If any inaccuracies are noted please let me know..

The location I had the most trouble with was at:
7200 Arroyo Cross Parkway, Las Vegas NV..

If anyone is in that area and can double check my coordinates it will be greatly appreciated... wink

The article says that Wal-Mart Canada it is in discussions with “a major U.S. retailer” to purchase all of the Sam's Club locations except the one in Cambridge.

According to another article that I found it is slated for next month.

Closer Coordinates

Super Wal-Mart #2189
4855 Kietzke Lane, Reno, NV 89502
775) 829-8088

-119.47854
39.28817

These coordinates are in the parking lot right in front of the building. The coordinates I had in my GPS were 2.5 miles off! Good thing I knew where this store was or I would have been lost.

The Sams club which is right next door (#4768) has parking lot coords of:
-119.47852
39.28934

I grabbed the parking lot coords as both stores are fairly well hidden from the main road. They are behind other buildings and up the hill.

Let me know if these parking lot coords are wanted or just coords at street level. I am a vendor that works in many Wal-Marts, Sams And Target stores. I have quite a few coords that are very close to many of my stores. I Work Northern california and the Reno area and out as far as Winnemucca. In 2 weeks, I'll be working out in the Carlsbad, NM area up to Amarillo, Texas. Let me know if anyone needs me to check on any coordinates and I'll try if I'm close enough to do so.

Oh, and my coordinates for the Fernley store are a lot closer to the store than the ones in the file. Might want to update them.

Re Store 4370 In checking the store I found the coordinates did not appear to be at a Wal-Mart store, so I checked the coordinates you supplied. Did you happen to be boating? Those coordinates are on a nearby lake… But I did correct the coordinates based on the information that you gave.

Re These coordinates, I corrected the coordinates for store #2189 which did seem to be off per the store locater and the geocode I checked, however the coordinates you supplied were not close to what I found. I think you are not taking them correctly or are trying to convert them incorrectly.. But at any rate thank you for taking the time to let me know they were incorrect... If you are in the locations you have submitted can you let me know if the coordinates I have used are correct?

I do not convert anything. For both stores, I was in the parking lot and standing next to my car. I hit the mark button on my Garmin GPSMap 60CSx when the accuracy was at 12 feet. They should be spot on. Either that or the GPSr needs some repair work!

I'll be at the Modesto WM on McHenry tomorrow. I'll get coords from the parking lot to compare to yours.

--
I fear only 2 things. Nuclear bombs and Oompa Loompas.

Ok, my bad

It's not that I didn't convert correctly, it's that I didn't convert at all. I didn't go from lat/lon to degrees. So my coords for #2189 should really be:

-119.79757
39.480283

And #4370:

-119.23180
39.61078

I'll check yours for accuracy when I return to those stores next month.

Thank you for getting back with the correct coordinates which I will use. The coordinates for store #4370 do not agree with the store locator’s map, but that isn’t unusual and the coordinates for store # 2189 are closer to the store than the ones in the file…
Thanks again for the help wink

Helpful info For RV owners

I have another "is it possible" request for the Walmart listings. It is at the discretion of each store whether to allow overnight RV camping. It would be very helpful if the person/persons submitting the POI could include that titbit.

Thanks for all you do, Gary!

One of the latest revisions (Webster, TX. right at the bottom of the list) has that detail.

I too am hoping that further updates will have the additional info.

Updating the existing entries is a big job and will probably be an ongoing thing.

I took over the Wal-Mart poi's recently and am trying to keep them up-to-date. It would make my job much easier if the addresses etc were in the files, but alas they are not...

I now do a search to see if the coordinates or coordinates that are close are already in the file, if they are I make a correction, if not I add submissions as a new entry..

And hope for the best shock

That little chore has already been done, and you can find downloadable files for this at the Discovery Owners forum. http://www.discoveryowners.com/cginfo.htm

While the files themselves can't be posted here, One can get the files, use the one that allows as a seperate POI file on your GPS.

Before you add their info to a POI-Factory file would require the permission of the file owner. They usually have an email contact listed for this reason.

The address is for WalMart #1081 which is not a Supercenter and is already included in the file.

The coordinates you give are for the 2000 block on NE 12th Ave. There appears to be construction in progress per pictures near those coordinates per google earth.

I wiil assume that these coordinates are for:
