South Korea (ROK) POI's Project Discussion

 
Sat, 03/07/2009 - 11:56pm

I am routinely uploading a South Korea .gpx file. It has interesting POIs not already loaded on the Garmin Korea v7 database. There are only a handful of points, but I know there are quite a few of us running around the ROK with GPSs.

So, please add any content you feel would be useful or interesting -- anything from resorts, sightseeing locales, campsights, good shopping, etc, etc.

The files are located under the "Projects" POI file category. Version 4 just posted.

Carry the Torch???

I am due to leave Korea in a few months, but would like to keep the POI database alive especially as more and more people travel throughout the ROK with GPS's.

If you would like to host the ROK POI database (really equates to updating the file once in a while) please let me know; you can also email me at rswayz@msn.com

Korea (ROK) POI

rswayz,
I hope someone steps forward. Your file was helpfull in locating the Bases that have visitor billeting to add to an OCONUS Billeting POI file. I was last in the ROK around 93 and it appears the bases have changed a lot.
Thanks for your help.

Using the Files

cariduro03,
You can download the S Korea POIs (rswayz).gpx at http://www.poi-factory.com/node/21244 and then use them in programs like GoogleEarth or Garmin MapSource.
Since there are many different GPS programs, I can only talk to mine specifically: I have a Gramin nuvi 200W which interfaces with the Garmin MapSource program. After downloading the .gpx file, I can plug the GPS into my computer and transfer the waypoints into it.

Hope this helps,
Ryan

Thanks

Thanks Dave. If nothing else, hopefully this site will stay here where I can occasionally monitor it from the states. Thanks for your feedback,

Seoul VPC Location Change

I learned last week (when shipping my car off the ROK) that the Seoul VPC has changed to Camp Kim. I have updated the POI .gpx file with the new coord's. Sorry if I led anyone astray to the old VPC.
