POI by State

 

I am new to this .Is there a way to locate POI's by states? I found the rest areas, restaraunts etc, but if it doesn't have my state then it is really a waste of space for me. Please help if you can

If you can find a copy of

If you can find a copy of the poi verifier II it will allow you to pull pois from an individual state. The problem is I don't think you get that file anymore. Maybe some one on here can help you.

POI Verifier II was discontinued

Brute Force method

You can also modify your file the brute force way.

When I want to just keep POIs within a certain area (not just a state because I have POI Verifier II to do that) I load the POI file into Excel (or equivalent) and first sort the file by longitude, delete the POIs Outside of my longitudinal area of interest, then I do the same by sorting by latitude.

In the case of Texas, if I wanted to just have Texas locations I would delete all POIs East of Long. 93.5 deg. and West of long. 106.6 deg. . Then I would delete all latitudes North of 36.5 deg.
This could have some remaining POIs in LA, OK, NM, AR & MO but 95% of them would be within Texas.
Just a brute force method !
