I'd be interested in developing a big rig, short term boondocking POI. My proposal would be that it be a restricted file for those that only contributed to the creation of this POI. Myself, I have found many that would accommodate me and I'm pulling a toad with a 40' MH.
I think a starting point would be the contribution of at least 10 spots to share in the usage of this file. My interest lies primarily in the western states (the other side of the "Big Muddy" but that does no preclude and areas in the east part of the country.
Let me hear from you.

Restricted file, kind of takes away from the basic principles of the POI-Factory and it's community to start with.

Overnights could also be included.
Expounding on the topic, overnights could be included but should be identified as such.
Myself, I like to get out in the open spaces and relax - never unhooking the tow. I've started to develop the database base d on what I have done so far. An example of an entry would be in this format - strictly adhered to;
-106.457,36.3081,"NM - Rte. 84 - Picnic area Overlooks Abiquiu Resevoir - Don't block shelter"
In comments, place State first and then highway number followed by comments.
I feel any POI should have the State and the route definitely stated because if you are not going that way, what's the use.
In principle I agree with Bob Dee
In principle I agree with you. However, this is for big rigs and if I need a place, I would not like to see a truck-camper occupying the space.
Not denigrating anybody - it's just too darn hard for a large motor home as it is because there are not that many places we fit.
You can also look at it as pay for play.
I agree the concept may be
I agree the concept may be nice for big rigs, but I am totally against restricting a file from others. Many will never use the file, but it goes against the way POI Factory operates.
Why not just set up the POI file and anyone can add to it and use it.
