On The Border & Red Lobster POI's

Looks like your area is not covered for Red lobster and it looks like On The Border has not been geocoded yet either.

anyone up for a project?

Miss POI

I can get addresses and the Lat/Lon from Google Maps for the ones here in Indianapolis. I tried working on making a mod to the Hooters csv file last night but kept getting line code errors in my POI Installer. I am not doing something right for sure. The Hooters file is missing a location on West 38th Street here in Indy. Thank you for responding Miss POI.

I have sent both US and Canada Red Lobster an email to see if they have a test files of all their locations. If I can find a way to get all the locations, I will give it a shot. The on-line find a store is useless for this. You seem to have to search down to the city.

I'll get back to you on the results.

I have just uploaded the Red Lobster - Canada file. Canada was a little bit easier since there are only so many provinces and major cities. US is a little bigger and I have not yet heard back from Red Lobster.

I can get the info for "On the Border" from the website. May take a fwe days because it is cut and paste but I will work on it while I wait to hear back from Red Lobster.

That sounds great, thanks for jumping in and volunteering.

Miss POI

Wow!!! I have to say that I never expected anyone to jump in and help like you did Dom. You are truly a gentleman. Thank you! Miss POI you are quite the lady too for getting the ball rolling.

I know there is a place you can go and pay like $5.00 to get Red Lobster's info and I am thinking OTB has a place there too. I again will say I am flabbergasted by the positive experience I am having here. Thank you!

I already grabbed all the OTB from the internet... a day of cut an paste and I am running them thru the geocoder as I type. There are 165 locations in the US. With any luck I should have a file for you soon.... if the geocoder gives me the proper results. I try to get as many at the address precision as I can.

Need I say more? Thank you. Dano

You're welcome.

I had just uploaded the file and Miss POI has already posted it. ENJOY.

Well I finally feel like I am on top of the wave that knocked me over with the new flood of members. I am on my boogie board and back in control. Tomorrow I will tackle all the emails that have BMP icons and mp3 sound files.

Miss POI

In trying not to feel totally useless, I made the BMP for On The Border. I have it here but do not know how to post it or where to send it. Please let me know so I can contribute to the forum.

Great job on the On The Border POI's. I see one problem with the one at 3567 US Rt 1, W Windsor, NJ that I go to all the time. The coordinates (mainly latitude) are about 63 miles off. The coordinates I got from the parking lot are: -74.65795 40.31595.

Hope this helps.

send bmp icons and mp3 sounds to photos@poi-factory.com

Miss POI

Thanks,

I have fixed the location and uploaded the corrected file.

Wow!! You're fast.

Just so you don't give up on me, here is an update.

I never heard back from the company, but I have grabbed all the information from the internet. I am in the process of formatting, cleaning and geocoding the file. I hope to have a file ready to upload in the near future.

The POI file has now been posted.

Thanks Miss POI

Why can't I find the OTB POI file?
It sure feels like a Monday to me.
