Having Problems With Walmart POI

 
Sun, 02/15/2009 - 3:22pm

I am trying to add a walmart to the walmart POI file. The location's address is 1060 South Watson, Buckeye, AZ 85326, (623) 474-6728. I am went to the store and it lists the coordinates on my Nuvi as 33°26.271, 112°33.550. Well I entered -112.33386 and 33.26224. I figured that's how I need to convert it for the bottom line. Well that brings me to some other place.

BTW Google earth is weird, it lists the address north of I-10 when it actually south. It's cross streets are Yuma Rd and Watson Rd. Mapsource has it right.

Any help or suggestions? redface

The coordinates have to be in decimal...

I will check the location you mention to see if it is missing from the latest poi... If it is I will add it...

It is missing and I will add it.. Using your coordinates but in decimal format: -112.559167°, 33.437850°

Thank you for bringing the missing location to my attention. grin

Correct Coordinates

Correct coordinates for the location in Degree decimal format would be:

-112.559167,33.437851 after conversion

GPS Visualizer gives -112.556577,33.437179
from the address
