Hello,
I downloaded the csv version for Walmart and Costco. However, I found that the CSV is bit oddly constructed as the address field is a combination of street address, city, state, zip, phone.
Then I found another version of csv which is for Rand McNally as in this link: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/29947
This csv is properly structured. Can you please advise on how to find all such csv for POIs like 24 fitness, safeway, walgreens, etc. for US locations.
Thanks & Regards.

If you are downloading from POI-Factory, go to the GPX version of the file if it is available. Jonathan Melby, the site owner and webmaster wrote a routine that will read the GPX file and spit out an RM compatible CSV with the 9 fields used in their format.

routine to convert GPX to RM
Thanks for the response. Can you point me to the routine? Is it a script that can help with the conversion.
Regards.
the routine
The routine to convert GPX to RM CSV is part of the download options. If you open a GPX POI file entry on this site, you have two options, download and store the GPX or download and store an RM CSV file. It's automagic.
