POI projects

Wondering if anyone is working on border patrol checkpoints? Not the actual crossings, but the inland fixed stops that are always within 100 or so miles of the actual border. I know some always move, but there are permanent fixed stops that would be nice to have a POI of.

Like to have a file of all the Cowboy Action Shooting Clubs. in the USA..

Interesting result. I loaded two files to my GPS, Speed Cameras_50.csv and I-95 Speed Traps_70.csv using Manual Mode.

The _50 file defaulted to 50 mph, but the _70 file defaulted to 95 mph.

What happened?

Any hope of an update? The data is six years old.

How do I search for A&W?

The search term, no matter how I spell it (A&W, A & W, A and W), is not recognized because it's too short.

Anybody have or know the location of data to build a POI file that has all Hilton Brand locations in the US and Canada.

I found the Hilton.csv but it is only for the US it appears.

Just downloaded, installed, and started playing with Extra-POI-Editor.

Looks great, but after I closed it out, my 'puter ground to a crawl. Even after 5-10 minutes, the process was still active and on the top of the list for memory usage.

I had to manually stop the process.

Yes my 'puter is old and underpowered anyway, but is this normal?

I'm not sure if Hwyman is still updating this file?
Last update was May 04/2010. Is it current?

If I find that a POI is missing entries, and there is no contact tab for that user, what can I do?

I'm creating my own travel links for the West Coast, here:

In the process, I've created some cool tools, like figuring out the State based on the Lat/Lon.

For example, here's the Rest Areas in the U.S. by State:

If you would like the code, let me know...

I'm in desperate need of an updated POI file of all the United States CVS Pharmacy locations.

I haven't found many comments here on this. Nearly all company websites have a button to locate their outlets (even then, sometimes this is wrong). Some companies, especially those in tourism-related industries, provide GPS coordinates of their outlets, but only one at a time.
Many privately operated campgrounds still don't even provide this much.

This has got to be a redundant post, but I can't find an answer anywhere. Maybe it should be a FAQ.

I've found error/omissions in a couple of POI files. How do I report those so that the person maintaining the files can make the correction?

Sorry if this was discussed before.

Is there such a thing as POI for STOP signs and traffic lights?
It would be really nice to know about them in advance and
map companies would probably be interested in having this information too, since it would help them to calculate more efficient routes.

Anyone know of lists of larger tire store chains in Canada & the US? Particularly Kal Tire in Canada & Les Schwab in the US

I've done it before but I either can't figure it out, most likely, or something on here has changed to where you can't inform the author of an addition or change that needs to be make.
What am I missing?

Does anyone know if TazDevil61 is still active on this forum?

I just noticed that he has created all the POI files for the covered bridge routes in Parke County, Indiana, but his Blue Route file actually contains the POI's that are in the Yellow Route.

I was born in this area, and would love to visit all the bridges again....it's been a long time...

thanks..
