WalMart, Sam's Clubs, and Super WalMart Centers US and Canada Combined Has a Location Error
To the keeper/maintainer of this file:
The combined: WalMart, Sam's Clubs, and Super WalMart Centers US and Canada Combined POI contains an error in the location of one of the Sam's stores in the St. Louis area.
1. The coordinates for "St. Louis Park" location sends you to baugrandger Road the store does not exist at that location.
Error in location of Golden Corral in Akron
I used the Golden corral POI file that I downloaded from this site. However, the location of the Akron Golden corral, at 79 Springside Drive was not accurate. I was with a friend and I said, turn left (according to the GPS) and he said, "but I see the sign for it on the right". I said, the GPS is never wrong! Opps! It was.

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.

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!!!

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
