WiFi - Businesses W/Free WiFi & McDonalds

Hope this is in the right forum & hasn't been discussed yet... I live in AB, Canada and have recently started seeing McDonalds advertise for Free WiFi... Starbucks and others have been doing it for a while and I don't know if McDonalds has been doing it as well in the U.S. for some time or not. My question is if the "WiFi - Businesses W/Free WiFi" POI file has been updated to contain the McDonalds locations?

Thanks in advance for my newbie attempt at a post wink

Just did a quick count and the file contains 14,040 locations labeled as McDonalds.

That's about right (though perhaps a wee bit high) for the number of McDonalds locations in the _US_ that have WiFi. The coverage south of the [Canadian] border is really very good, but McDonalds Canada has been very slow to follow suit. (None of the locations in my home town have WiFi... yet.)

Hyper Taco Transfer Protocol

Taco Bell is the latest to promise its patrons free WiFi in all of its U.S. restaurants -- that's 5,600 locations. And, if that weren't reason enough to linger in those lovely plastic chairs over a plate of Chalupas, Taco Bell is also throwing in a free side of TV, too.
