New to POI files
Hi there,
I am new to the world of POI, so sorry if this is a stupid questions...
I would like to find a single comprehensive source of POI files for gas stations in North America. Is it possible to get this anywhere, even on a commercial basis? I'd be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction!
Thanks!

HP TouchPad Warning
If you're in the market for a tablet you should avoid the HP TouchPad. HP just announced that they're discontinuing webOS and the TouchPad. So don't be fooled if you see these go on sale real cheap.
