POI projects

Before leaving on my trip I downloaded the La Quinta POI file and hoped to use it. Tonight the file led me to a spot in the middle of nowhere. After I found our La Quinta Inn in Acworth, GA my GPS says the location is N34 04.9141 W084 39.353 and opening the POI file on my GPS says the motel is 4.5 miles from here.

How come sometimes when I upload a poi file TO THIS SITE it never shows up in my list? SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION

For some reason since my last POI update i am getting 7km speed alert many many times in areas were it does not apply.

Is there any way to get rid of this problem. It seems that this POI does not know where it is and why it is doing it.

Any inputs?

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for starting a project for this, I have the US version, and have all of the non-chain places..which are great by the way
When I was living in Alberta, there were many non-chain, mom & pop places that were fantastic, but that was 10 years ago, and I can't remember the names..

I'm building a POI file that contains all of the boating port/dock/marina along with contact information throught the world.

Any information that can lead me to the data is appreciated. I don't care the format, I can convert most data.

Thanks

I was wondering if anyone and compile a list of CR England terminal locations and Drop yards and create a POI set for me please. Thanx in advance.

Not sure if I'd get to it anytime soon, but an Arcade list seems like it would be popular. There's some good sources of locations online (in addition to Chuck E Cheese /Dave & Busters locations).

Here's 2 good sources: www.aurcade.com , www.arcadefly.com

I live there too 'ajasaro', interesting file. What's weird about the Bradford, PA McDonald's though??

Only in Pennsylvania do you go through the towns of Intercourse and Paradise, on your way to Blue Ball!

I did a quick search and I see that something similar has been posted in the past, but I don't think any POI files were created on this. Anyway, now that I am working overnights, I am wondering if there are any POI files that would pull up all 24 hour a day locations near me. I suspect that it might be difficult to create, since hours change, etc.m but I thought I would check.

An important and informative POI Alert would be something that would show what county you are in as you travel.

I have often heard severe weather alerts giving warnings of flooding, tornado, etc. approaching certain counties. Great information, but didn't know what county I was in.

Anyone know of a POI that would help? Or, some other feature?

While passing through Arlington, TX. last evening I checked the POI files from here for Red Lobster. The closest showed as 12 miles. We went to another restaurant. While going back to the freeway we passed a Red Lobster, less than a mile from where I had made the search.

Today I checked the Nuvi internal file for the Red Lobster, it was there.

This is the place to submit additions and changes for the Five Guys POI file.

My intent is to check the web site for missing locations every few months. Five Guys is not very good about updating their location list as there is one near me that's been open since June '11 that isn't listed.

Hi There.

Redner's is a small supermarket chain in PA/DE/MD of about 40 stores. Going to try to get a file done in the near future for it.

I have found this to be an excellent site for GPS info and destinations I need for being on the road so much. I have tried to edit travel plazas (truck stops) to better fit my needs. I dont need the entire name listed..as in PILOT TRAVEL CENTER. I have tried to edit this and others down. No luck what so ever. Is there a simple edit tool and a tutorial for its use available?

Hi All,

I am having a chart in microsoft excel sheet. I am reading that chart using POI and getting it into a HSSFChart object.

Now I want to write that Chart to a Microsft Powerpoint.
Can anyone suggest me or share some idea, by which I can put that HSSFChart object to PPT using POI API ?

Can I convert that HSSFChart object to an Image file(JPEG or PNG)?

Hi...First of all, I really appreciate all the time folks put into creating POI's.

Is it possible for the 2 creators to combine their efforts on these 2 POI's and create just ONE?

Thanks.. PJG

Campgrounds and RV Parks Combined

The poi file includes a Sams Club #6279, in Temple at 6201 NW H.K. Dodgen Loop, Temple Tx 76504.

There is no store at that location.

Hoping I am being helpful,
