How Many Of My Fellow POI Factory Members Still Download POIs?

I as well download RLC's, rest areas and coffee shops but not very often. Perhaps before a trip or something or when I update the maps.

I update POI's before taking a long trip or when I want to find new local places. I check rest areas and eating places I like.

I keep my POI files updated with each revision. I check "My Favorite Files" each time I visit the site.

My list includes: Rest Areas with Restrooms USA, WiFi "Lite", US & Canada, Offbeat Tourist Attractions - US File, National Parks, Monuments, Preserves & Historical Parks.

Thanks to all of the file maintainers.

I like the offbeat; attractions and such. Also, restaurants made famous like Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, and Man v Food. Those types of places are hard to come by in pre-loaded forms like 4Square, etc.

We use POIs often. They are very useful and allow us to find specific locations in various categories.

I keep all of my favorites (about 30) up to date, especially the Rest Areas. I do look occasionally but seldom download new files anymore. I have an iPhone but when traveling I use Waze just to get traffic updates. I use my TomTom for actual navigation. I like getting alerts as I near certain POI's and that can't happen on the iPhone.

I do a download of POI's I am interested in from time to time.

I D/L the Red Light/Speed camera files frequently.

I still use my TomTom XXl all the time and add specialty poi's like wineries to it so I can get there easily.

I update general poi's each night which are new & once a week on Wed evening I download the Cameras. It then update my GPS's (still 3). Nothing like having the GPS's up to date for valuable info. My GPS's are old so new geography is not added but for the places I travel to it is no problem.

The POI's I download are businesses that I generally use locally & want to find them on a trip to another area.

I'm still download the POI.

I update 3 gps units

and I greatly appreciate the work of contributors.
Thanks

I love this site. I travel cross-country each year and the POIs are very helpful for finding restrooms, restaurants, gas stations, etc in unfamiliar places.

My wife would kill me if I didn't have the Rest Room POI (or the Dunkin' Doughnuts).

Just downloaded Route 66 POIs to plan a future trip. Thats why I download most of them, future trip planning either local or across the US

i download for vacation the area im going to be in. It is very helpful to pre-plan

I have a favorite set of POI's that I download and use virtually all the time. I keep them updated as they are revised. I do edit them by eliminating locations that are not in my 6 most frequently travelled states.

That's the only time I'll say I DO !!

But seriously, the POI's on POI factory are far more up to date than the ones we get from Garmin.
I have many times gone to a location the Garmin told me and found that the business has totally disappeared. Once was a Super 8 motel off the Blue Ridge Parkway. All that was left was an empty lot.

Due to the changes in the logon site (.net vs .com ) PoiSync no longer functions. It is written in Java and I cant code in Java soooooooooooo.

But I do download regularly updated versions of the POI's I use, albeit manually now

I download / update once a month.

Me, me, me!

I still download the Red Light Camera POI.
