Canada/USA Border Crossings
1/05 Update: I've uploaded all of the Canada/US crossings. I've moved the corresponding US POE into the title to make more room for the hours of service (some of them are lengthy!).

request: suscriptions to particular POI files
would be neat if we could "subscribe" to particular gps files and get an email once an update made. Or, maybe add 20-30 "favorite" poi files, and download them all at once qmonth or something.

A.RV friendly (locate Campgrounds,dump stations,low bridges , gas stations and so on)
B.Possibility to add POI.

coordinates
If anyone is interested there is a website that has three free downloads which are zipped csv files. There is a file on zip codes 41,700 entries, US cities 192,611 entries, and Canadian cities 12,082 entries. I thought if people had a use for them it would be just as easy to go to their site and download them. The url is:

Next time a black and white police unit cruises by you look inside at the dash or windshield.
Can you spot his/her GPS?
GPS is becoming a great tool for patrol officers.
