Phone No's in POI files

 
Mon, 07/23/2007 - 10:49am

I am getting ready to update and add about 25 more states to my VA Hospital file. My question is, since these are Government facilities, most have a local phone no., and also an 800 no. And, also, since some GPSr's have limited real estate on the screen, should I show both No's, the local one or the 800 one?

I vote for both, those who want different can always edit the file they download for their "personal" use. Thanks for the work you're doing

Local Number

I'd show the local number. The 800 number would probably connect you to the main switchboard at the corporate office. Then they would switch you to the appropriate number. The local number would get you directly to the place you need. Saves time.

Local number

The local number would be most useful
