Announcing - Metro area projects
We are launching a new area on the site today. It is called metro areas. So far we have just one area, Boise, Id, there are no locations to download yet it is still under construction.
We will be adding more as you request the areas that you live in and would like to contribute to.

Diner locations
It wss suggested that I start a new thread for a diner list POI -- the old-fashioned diners where you can get anything to eat at any time day or night. I am not sophisticated enough to know how to do this so any help would be appreciated.

This is to let anyone interested in this file, that I am presently updating the file to reflect the latest Dealership Listing.
Low Clearance POI Questions..
Hi!
I am a total noob to gps. In fact, I am trying to help a friend with her Garmin 260. I was directed to this site by someone on the Airstream forum. I have looked around quite a bit here and have a few questions.
Perhaps I can help...
I'm going to be on a VERY long trip in the next few weeks....
Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, the North East, Midwest, and then finally, home sweet flat barren desert home.
Give me some ideas for what would be most beneficial to the site. I will have a laptop, and Garmin C330 (borrowed from a relative) with me.
New to using POI Downloads
I have a Nuvi 760 and would like to use a POI list that I have downloaded to my PC. Would some one please tell me how I get the list onto my Garmin Nuvi 760 for use?

Removing Custom POI's
I am having a problem removing previously installed custom POI's on my Nuvi 255W. Using the Garmin POI Loader with the removal checked with both my Garmin and external card does nothing. The custom POI's still show up.
I have even installed new custom POI's to overwrite the old but they still remain.
Where do they reside so can remove with a cardreader.
Thanks--
guy

LA Fitness
I've decided to make a more detailed LA Fitness POI database, hopefully it is done in the next couple days. I have used the old one but it is missing phone # and address info.
Think it would be useful to have the hours and/or class schedule too? I'd have to come up with some super condensed format to fit all that info :/
that's all folks.

Carey Holzman is at it again;)
Yup our friend from the Computer America show has been busy with more GPS addiction.
Just see what he has put together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP1kEYyuSiI
I can't wait to see future videos from him, I have faith that he will include his favorite GPS community in his future projects.
What a great guy!!!

Categorising POI by location rather than type
Whilst the files on this site are very useful I have only a limited amount of space for POI on my Navman S70. I travel to the USA most years and would really welcome POI's grouped by location (e.g. State) as well as by type. That way I could load my SatNav with just the files I need for a trip rather than trying to load 1000's of POI for the whole of USA.

Idea: Animal Shelters
Several months ago I decided to adopt (and save) a new dog from an animal shelter. I have been visiting several shelters in and around Fort Worth, but I'm learning there are far more than I ever imagined. I thought what a great help it would be if my GPS could help save a pet and give him or her a new home.

Starbucks
I downloaded the Starbucks file. It had only one Starbucks entry from my city. However, when I used my Garmin to look up "Starbucks", the GPS found the other 4 Starbucks. Where did it get them, since they weren't in the Starbucks POI download file?

Compiled list of all Shari's Restaurants
I compiled a list of all of the Shari's Restaurants. I started with the online lists of restaurants from sharis.com, asking for a state at a time.
Used Google on the street address to fill in the city, state, and zip code. Also used it to replace the incorrect 555 phone numbers that existed in the sharis.com website.
New Zealand Waterfalls
Does anyone have a POI that lists all the waterfalls in NZ?
a new POI file
I have a suggestion for a new POI file - i searched and didn't see anything on this.
There is a book out called waterfalls of ontario and I just wanted to see if anyone has done it, thought of doing it or wants to help me do it.
I just picked up the book and its a whole tourguide of all 80 waterfalls in ontario.
Pictures for POI Packages & POI Files
I have started this topic because I would like to reach out to all the photographers out there looking for something to take pictures of.
What we need is pictures like on this page: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/10174 that Doc_Brown took for the site of Dairy Queen. Here is another that Doc sent in for Starbucks http://www.poi-factory.com/node/6021
