In the same page where you downloaded the file there is a contact for the maintainer, write him a short note to correct the file in case he misses your post in the forum.

The Kohl's store locator on their web site shows a store at the following location.

Portland Gateway

10010 N.E. Halsey St.
Portland, OR 97220
Phone:(503)408-4034
Intersection Directions: Southwest corner of N.E. 102nd Ave. & N.E. Halsey St.

I assume this to be the one because I show no other Portland's in the file. It would be odd that there is not a Kohl,s in Portland OR.

Google Earth

I just went into Google Earth Street View & I can clearly see a Kohls sign at the entrance to the shopping center.

I saw a sign also

As you probably know, I am the maintainer for the file. So basicly I have no idea what poi the op wants taken out. And since I searched the entire file for "Portland" and only found Oregon then it must be the one????

I am not removing it till I get a better confirmation.

Coordinates?

Yes, it is the Halsey store listed in this file. I checked google maps and the street view is totally different from where I ended up. I think I ended up somewhere downtown?? Many of the streets where I ended up were one way streets, very narrow streets. Didn't seem like an area for a Kohl's store let's put it that way. Perhaps the co-ordinates are wrong???

simulated route from my gps

Exit 302A right to City Center/Rose Quarter

Keep right onto Broadway to City Center

Left on Everett St

Right on 3rd Ave

Right on Burnside St

Right on 6th Ave

Arrive at Kohl's Portland OR #11 on right

I don't see any 3rd Ave or 6th Ave when I locate the store on Kohl's website or on google maps. Also, if you've gone to downtown Portland, not a place for a Kohl's store. The coordinates must be wrong.

Bad Coordinates

Yes, it looks like the current coordinates in the file...

-122.676207,45.523452

...are wrong. These are better:

-122.560969,45.533372

I have made the change in the file.

Mervyn's also lists the same address. Maybe today's Kohl's used to be where Mervyn's was.

Mervyn's is gone

Kohl's bought Mervyn's.

Thanks

Thanks for the change

Kohl's Poi file is updated

Finally got this done. Work and life tends to get in the way.
