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

Update
About a year ago, I posted that I was having problems with POISync, and having it corrupt numerous POI's with blank lines. I have since discovered that the problem may be with Java. POISync requires Java version 1.6.0_17. I am in the middle of installing me new Dell PC, with Windows 11, so I will insure I have the latest Java installed when I get around to testing POISync again.

Files that contain duplicates and errors
I just downloaded and checked out EPE 6.04. It is a PITA because of the Google key and it also opens trying to open another turboccc program I have, BUT when I loaded a file and searched for duplicates within 1 mile on a couple of POI files I was amazed at how many duplicates, address errors and lat/long errors it found.

EV Chargers and Tesla Superchargers POI Files (wishing for)
Is there any possibility of the creation of an EV Chargers POI file and a Tesla Supercharger POI File?
I'm guessing this is a huge undertaking but I'm wondering. I have the A Better Route Planner app but I'd love if I could use my Garmin GPS instead - especially for long road trips.
Thanks!

Speed and red-light camera files
When I download the latest red-light and speed cam files to my computer POI file. I notice there are multiple red-light and speed cam files with different dates. Should I delete all but the latest speed and red-light files or keep all of the files with different dates and transfer all of them to my gps?

Golf Courses for the Entire US Polygons not Points
Does anyone know where I can find a shapefile for the boundaries of all golf courses in the USA? This would need to be a polygon feature and not a point feature.
I currently have two datasets that are points (lat/lon) centered on the golf courses, but I really need polygons.
I could digitize these using satellite imagery, but that is going to take a hundred years...

U S Holiday Inn POI
Is anyone working the Holiday Inn POI file? I notice there hasn't been any additions in 5 to 10 years. I don't think that's possible.

POI Edit
Since Extra POI Editor does not work anymore, I have gone back to POI Editor.
I tried to convert the Harbor_Freight.cvs file to GPX file but it leaves out ‘Harbor Freight’ and put all the rest in the ‘Name’ windows.
Is-there a solution for that?
Thanks

Creation of a Low Bridge clearence POI ?
Looking for a US overview of bridges with challenges when driving a RV, I searched this forum and could understand that there previously was a file that was taken down.
Searching a little more, I found the NBI data set that comes from the National Bridge Inspection that has a dataset that is updated every year.
I downloaded the CSV file and created a small Jupyter notebook:

Orphaned POI Files
When a maintainer leaves our community or makes the decision to downsize their projects and gives us notice, we move the POI files to Orphaned Files
Any members interested in file maintaining are welcome to ‘adopt” any of these files.
