Any Use for a Amazon Locker Location POI File?

I was camping recently and needed a specialty item not available locally. Using my smartphone, I found the item on Amazon.com and had it shipped to one of their nearby Locker locations. Although the online directions were fairly specific, I had trouble finding the location due to an error with Google Maps.

Anyone not familiar with Amazon's Locker Delivery can check out the service here:

UBREAKIFIX

I would like to see the company "ubreakifix" as a download since a lot of us (if not most) will need cell phone, computer, and ipad, etcs repaired from time to time. They are excellent to work with and repairing a phone or computer sure beats buying a new one. grin

Casinos_Canada POI File Discussion

Just updated the Casinos_Canada POI file.

http://www.poi-factory.com/node/1490

I used 2 sites that "Rate" casinos to compile an up-to-date file. (Although, those sites need updating)

I also used the casinos' web pages to find any "sister" casinos.

Any corrections, updates or additions - please post here or email me.

Casinos_USA POI file discussion

Just updated the Casinos_USA POI file.

I used 2 sites that "Rate" casinos to compile an up-to-date file. (Although, those sites need updating - one still lists the Riviera in Las Vegas which I personally saw last year being demolished.)

I also used the casinos' web pages to find any "sister" casinos.

Any corrections, updates or additions - please post here or email me.

POI files Costco/gas

Looking at the POI for Costco with gas, there is a lot of them. I'm more interested in the western states but the updated date for that POI is in 2010. The combined US and Canada is for 2017. Thinking that the download size is much larger for both Countries.
Would it make a difference for my 1450?

Custom POI and Custom alert sound not working

I'm having some problems getting a custom alert to work with a custom POI file. It has worked for me in the past but now won't work (on my new NUVI 3597 as well as my NUVI 1450).

Safety Corridors

The latest new annoying enforcement effort is starting here in Arizona: Safety Corridors. These are sections of freeways where everything becomes zero tolerance. That includes speed of course so now if you're going 70 in a 65 mph zone, normally not even worth stopping a driver, you're likely to get a ticket.

CVS, Walgreens & Rite Aid

Recently we had a question about a CVS location. One of our members took a look at the file and saw that it needs to be updated, but when looking at the web, it seems a fair number of CVS locations seem to be located in Target stores.
Which got us to wondering about if or how this file should be updated.
How many members use this file?
Do you prefer Walgreens or Rite Aid over CVS?

One CVS Pharmacy in Ashville, NC is incorrect--In residential neighborhood--No CVS

This happened yesterday... I'm attempting to find the line in current .csv file...
Picked one from POI list, and it took us to a residential area--No CVS...
Selected another 2.3 miles away, and it was good...

We were in a time crunch, so didn't write it down.... Will try to find it....

Be aware...

Furkot trip planner now imports Garmin .csv POI files

I stumbled across this trip planner
https://trips.furkot.com/ui
a couple weeks ago, and I am astonished at how useful it is.

For those who use Garmin PNDs, Furkot offers route export in .gpx file compatible with newer Garmin PNDs (and several other file formats too)

And while Furkot has always been able to import

Convert POI files to online map HTML bookmarks

Has there been any discussion about converting POI .csv files to online map (e.g.: google.com/maps) HTML bookmarks?

I realize they are not "directly" convertible, but I'm wondering two things:

Hidden POI points

Help please. I am using a Nuvi 3580 to navigate in the North Cumberland WMA on an ATV. This is a mountainous area in East Tennessee with numerous ATV trails. I've downloaded and installed img files with fairly complete maps of that area. They show up just fine on my unit, track just fine, no problem there.

Food in the UK

The Food Standards Agency (UK) releases its rating data for open re-use.

This means I can create PoI files for pretty much any food-related subject. For example:

  • all food retailers (some 450,000!)
  • all food retailers with the highest hygiene rating
  • all (X brand) supermarkets
  • all pubs/bars/nightclubs
1 2 3 4
6 7 8 9 ... 10 20 72
