Wouldn't it be great... (POIs on business websites)

Make it easier for you customers/potential customers to find you.

Even if they simply listed physically verified coordinates that could be used to create a .csv file it would be a step in the right direction.

... and I also think that this is something we'll see more of in the future.

I still think it's too early in the game, as GPS is still viewed by many (wrongly so) as a 'new' technology.

All it takes is a good idea (like this one) and a few people to get the ball rolling.

I believe that this site is just that... a huge 'push' on the ball.

Cheers!

They have both .csv and .ov2 formatted POI's listed for their store locations.

Now Thats Slick i agree all the web sites should have there directions in gps format for all locations

Why this has not happened yet, I don't know. Money?
I messed with a Magellan at Costco yesterday, with the AAA Travel Guide in it. Makes Fodors look pretty useless. If AAA offered this to members, or just sold it for a fair price, I am interested.

I guess most people who make the decisions for the large companies don't use GPS. They have their private drivers....

I've noticed around here that a lot of companies are starting to give coordinates, both in media and print advertising. Also have seen a few bill boards with coordinates...COOL BEANS!

Both Pilot Travel Centers and Flying J have either coordinates or csv files available for their locations.

Now if I could just find a listing for all motels with truck parking, I'd sleep better most nights.
