POI of Metro (subway) stops in Barcelona

Is there a way to find out if such a POI database exists somewhere?

I couldn't find it but I sure would like to get it downloaded as it would be a great help when walking around Barcelona, Spain to know where the next nearest subway station is.

Also I would like to know if there is a POI of tourist places in Barcelona to download.

If there isn't one how can I easily create one from Google Maps or whatever source. I can see the stops displayed with a red "M" on Google Maps.

well it seems that the 770

well it seems that the 770 already has the Metro subway stations all loaded!

It is even better than what I was going to do by simply geocoding the intersections. The built in POI has it by each subway entrance location. This is much nicer since most locations have multiple entrances. You can do a search using "Metro" and it shows up a listing of all the stations which is very nice.

Now if it was possible to edit the built in POI so that I could add which color Line served that station.
