Whit Castle POI

 

How can I add the White Castle name to the alert. All it does is show me the address. I looked in the poi file and it does not say white castle at all. Do I have to add that in each location?
Thanks
Rick

It depends

Do you have Excel? Are you comfortable doing things with it?
If so, highlight column C, and insert a column.

In the "New" column C, type this string exactly as shown in cell C1:
=concatenate("White Castle ",d1)
Now copy this formula to all the empty cells in Column C.

The new entries will have White Castle followed by the street address. Highlight all these cells, right click and say Copy. Right Click again and Paste Special Values. Now you can highlight Column D and delete the entire column. You can now reload the file using POILodader.

Its seems kind of confusing to have your favorites open and only see an address, or even worse, just the city. Why these files are made in this fashion is something I just can not understand. It just makes you have to touch the screen a few more times while driving, to find out what it is which seems counter productive.
I found the same true of the Meijer File, and even suggested to the maintainer to add the name MEIJER before the word STORE in column C. I added the word MEIJER to the entire file in front of the word STORE and also added either city & state because some were just blank and yet others only had a street name in that field after STORE #XXX. I found no real reason to have the store number for myself,so I removed it but I would imagine it was used because Meijer Corp probably uses it for identification. Then I sent the person the file but it was never used... Oh well, I tried:)) My copy works fine and everything is usable now that I've made the changes.
