Olive Garden POIs

Everyone,

I just uploaded the latest update to this POI file. It includes the following states: OR WA CA NV AZ ID IA MN WI VA TX UT WY CO MT NM ND SD NE KS OK CT
Partial coverage for:NY PA CT

Cheers

I didn't see NC on the list

I must have just forgot to type it on the list. This project is getting bigger by the day.

Do I send this to you P38nut to add to your file?

Do we get credit for the Olive Garden files we send to P38nut?

If a file is made by many people there should be a list of the contributors in the comments field with a note of which state they contributed so that if there are any corrections that need to be made the specific contributor can be contacted to make the correction and then get it back to the head person. Unless the head person wants to be the contact person and correct any and all issues. Credit still needs to be given where credit is due though.

Miss Poi

Yes. If you send it I'll include it.

And to everyone who has/will contributed...I have just been a bit behind in giving credit for all that you've added. I'll have the situation corrected asap.

I added credit to the description for this file.

If I missed you, I'm sorry...let me know and you'll get credit for helping.

I sent you an email earlier this evening...please respond so I can send the file as an attachment to you.

P38nut:

Do you have the state of Maryland or Washington, DC yet? If not I volunteer to do Maryland and/or Washington, DC.

Let me know so I am not duplicating someone elses work. Thanks,

Stan

It includes the following states: OR WA CA NV AZ ID IA MN WI VA TX UT WY CO MT NM ND SD NE KS OK CT,Fl.
Partial coverage for:NY PA CT,

Okay then looks Maryland and DC need to be done. I am on it.

Stan

Okay guys (and gals) I finished Maryland and uploaded it. (Hasn't shown up yet). I said I would do Washington, DC too and I did - it was very easy - there are no Olive Garden's in Washington, DC.

Stan

LOL, I should have picked that one! I wouldn't have missed any. Thanks for the work!

Yes, GA FL, SC, NC would be of interest to me.

This afternoon's update is complete the file now includes:

P38nut-OR WA CA NV AZ ID TX UT WY CO MT NM ND SD NE KS OK LA AR MO MS AL TN KY
kch50428-IA MN WI
asianfire-VA NC(partial)
alanrobin1-NJ NY PA CT
rhamona-FL
sasines-MA DC

I had a couple of hours and wanted to get some more progress done before I head back to work tonight, as when I'm working it's usually work,sleep,eat,repeat. Anyway I want this project to keep moving forward.

Just as I thought I was done I saw an update from alanrobin1 in my email that has his states complete. Anyway a quick copy & paste then run it thru POI verifier and its ready to go. I just uploaded it.

Thanks for your diligence alanronbin1.

Anyone looking for help with another project,such as the Olive Garden, please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Alan

P38Nut:

You might want to change Maryland from MA to MD. MA is actually Massechusetts! Some may get confused.

Thanks,

Stan

and when you say Massechusetts, you really mean Massachusetts right;)

I just couldn't help myself on that one.

Miss Poi

I guess that's what comes from being on the west coast. I'll change it. Thanks for the catch.

Also according to my count we only have 12 more states to go!

Yes Miss POI you are correct, stupid fingers still learning to spell after all these years!

Stan

I blame my typos on my laptop, the keys are just not as spread out as they are on a regular keeyboaaarrrddd.

Miss Poi

thanks for doing a good job

I just want to say how much fun it was to be apart of putting the larger list together.

Just so everyone's in the know...

I'm working on IL and also working on formatting what we have for line break in the address/phone no. field as I noticed that I forgot to do that. It'll be a bit slow going untill Monday when I get another day off, but I am still working on it.

There are other states left if anyone wants to contribute. Here's the list of what's not done:
ME,VT,NH,RI,DE,MA,SC,GA,IN,MI,OH

we're counting it down!

And I'll have IL IN & MI added before the day is done. I'd have them ready now but I can't run the POI verifier program at work (shhhhhh! Yea I'm building POIs at work, that's one of the perks of working nights the boss is usually asleep.) since the IT department doesn't allow us to install anything on our own computers...something about too many people installing games and never getting any work done.

Oh..uh, yea. Back on topic. (shakes head to try to wake up) So we're knocking this one out. Let's all pitch in and wrap this POI file up!

So here's where we stand:
Alaska & Hawaii have no locations...I checked

photomatt: SC

still available: ME,VT,NH,RI,DE,MA,OH,GA(if you can beat photomatt to it)

I'll do Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Delaware.

When completed, I'll email it to you Aaron.

Alan

Excellent. Thanks. Alan

That just leaves: ME,MA,OH, & GA if you're fast.

I just updated this file

It now covers every state except for SC & GA that photomatt is working on and ME,MA,OH which are still up for grabs.

Thanks Alan for helping to finish this project up.

Should have known it...as soon as I think I've got all the updates...

I just updated this file again.

Thanks photomatt for the addition of SC.

ME,MA,OH are done. I'll have them added before the day is gone. Then the only thing left will be GA by photomatt and we'll be complete. Yea!

Better get working! up to me!?! working on it now....

Good job all - thanks Aaron for coordinating this!

The Olive Garden POI is complete! We have the whole US covered. We are done. Yea!

I want to thank everyone who contributed their time and effort to this project. I hope that this will be one of many such projects.

Great job everyone!!! This has been a fun project to watch

Miss Poi

I want to thank Aaron especially for all his work and say it has been alot of fun to be part of a project like this. Looking forward to the next one.

Alan

Alan, I'm looking forward to the next project as well. Any ideas what it might be? I'm comming up blank.

And I'd like to give honorable mention to ARIZONA Olive Gardens.

WE are going to Olive Garden for lunch today. Love the places!

I could use a file of locations. After just buying a Nuvi 200, I tried it out yesterday. Boy are the resturants around here off! Most by many miles.
Oliden Garden for sure. They have the address are:

741 South Rd
Wappingers Falls, NY
12590

The correct address is:

741 South Rd
Poughkeepsie, NY
12601

I love the Olive Garden too. Mistakes happen even to Garmin, that's why I'm so glad that our file has the correct address. Kudos go to Alan for getting it right. Good job Alan

These 3 listings don't show up on their website and appear to be suspect or residential areas,(if Google sat maps are accurate):

-80.165259,26.129737,Olive Garden,"1701 NW 6th Ct # 1-101,Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311"
-80.051545,26.720815,Olive Garden,"912 N Olive Ave,West Palm Beach, FL 33401"
-87.229674,30.510837,Olive Garden,"1436 E Olive Rd,Pensacola, FL 32514"

Here's one I think you are missing for FL.

-86.409293,30.387586,OlivGrdn,850-650-2307,34970 Emerald Coast Pkwy,Destin,FL 32541

I only checked FL against my own file.

Olive Garden has 603 restaurants according to the march financials, and I doubt the website has them all listed yet. Your 580+ is a pretty good number.

Good work.

Thanks for the correction.

I uploaded the corrected file.

Thanks for the lists. These will come in handy.

Calling all original contributors to this file...

I've begun an update to this file. If you have any new locations that need to be included, or some that need removed, etc. let me know.

So far I've found 4 or 5 new locations in the OR,WA,CA area.

Sorry that it's taken me so long to get to this...I picked up a new hobby and haven't had lots time to be here.
I just updated these states. California had enough changes that I just started from scratch...it was faster.

I'll have it uploaded momentarily.

I'm still trying to add phone numbers and E-mail addresses to my NC State parks list so I hope y'all will be kind when you cram this info into me.

Thank you for doing this

The Olive Garden on Palm Beach Lakes Blvd has closed. I don't know if that is part of any ones list.
