POI projects

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.

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

I wonder if anyone is working on developing a POI list for the location of pumps dispensing Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). There's a good website available for this purpose (Discover DEF -- http://www.discoverdef.com) but it's not as convenient as having a POI list of DEF pump locations right on my GPSr.

Does anybody have the POI file for all USA YMCA locations? Thanks!

Is any project for Electric vehicles charging stations?

Where do i put mp3 or .wav into my Nivi 2598 to get "shell station nearby" to be voiced when approaching?

I am maintaining the Braum's Ice Cream & Burger Restaurant stores. charlesd45 contributed the .bmp and .wav files

You will find the POI along with the .bmp and .wav files at the link below:

Bram's stores are located in:
Texas
Oklahoma
Arkansas
Kansas
Missouri

Please add any information here if you have it for me.

Any Additions

this is a nice file when traveling with the rv to get overnight parking

Does anyone know why the nav unit does not recognize a SD card? In Setup-Media everything but MDI is greyed out. I can stick a SD card into the slot to try and add some waypoints of my own in *.db3 format and it says loading the file. But it really does not. The unit will play CD/DVD's but that is also greyed out in the actual Setup-Media settings.

POI Factory member Gastx is needing to step away from file maintaining due to significant medical issues in his family. We appreciate the time and work he's put into file maintenance and wish him and his family the best.

If anyone is interested in taking over as maintainer for any of these files please let me know.

Anyone have a link to USA Chase Bank POIs?
Thanks

I loaded a custom POI through my Macbook to my Nuvi but the "Go" box was not usable. I normally use Safari as my browser. I found that downloading from the POI Factory works best using my Firefox browser. Not sure why, but loading in this way allows the green "Go" button to work properly.

Has anyone else had this experience?

Tried to delete custom POI's from my Nuvi 2559. Found the files from the unit on my Macbook using Finder. Sent them to the trash but they remained on the 2559. Tried POI loader to delete them but to no avail. Eventually called Garmin. The rep said that moving them to the trash is only the first step. You actually have to empty the trash before they will be removed from the Nuvi.

I was wondering if someone might be interested in a project of creating a new POI for all Wyndham Hotels.(Not just resorts but all those eligible for Wyndham Rewards Program.) I know it would be a large project but it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone else noticed that 21,275 NORTH AMERICA CAMPGROUNDS (CSV) by Rivopom only contains 20,275 records.

I have an older csv file by him and I have 20,750 records.
From his change log I noticed that he only added new locations.

Any ideas why there are actually less locations?

Thanks.

Please send me your POI's for BBQ restaurants, not including the chain types just the small restaurants; shacks or whatever specializing in good BBQ.

This thread is for discussing the Rest Areas USA POI files location changes only. Any questions or concerns in regards to the formatting or management of these files should be sent directly to me via my contact tab.

If I find an error or a missing point, how do-I go about getting the information to the person in charge of the file?

This thread is for discussing location changes for the Rest Areas Combined USA POI file.

The Rest Areas file is maintained through the generous volunteer efforts of POI Factory member(s), so please be courteous and patient when awaiting a response.

***This thread is now closed. We are making some changes to the file and a new discussion thread will be started when that change is made.

Having searched the forums using the keyword "museum" and finding nothing similar, I submit the following source for a listing of all the museums in the US. It comes from a legitimate source, but with 35,000 entries, I can't speak for its accuracy. It comes in either CSV or XLS file versions. Maybe someone with way more POI file building capability than I have can create something out of it.
