POI projects

The title just about says it all.
I travel with a horse trailer.

You can't bring them into a Holiday Inn room and HIDE them, they're just TOO BIG.
Even the motels that say "pet friendly" don't mean pets THIS big.

There are a couple of directories on the web, horsetrip.com and there was a section of bbonline that could be searched, I think with /~horses.htm something like that.

I've been thinking about(and marking/saving points) creating a POI file for improvised parking for trucks, RVs, or any large/long vehicle or combination.
I welcome anyone else who wants to contribute or otherwise help with this project.

Is there a POI file for Truck and Rv washes for US?
Thanks

I wish there was a way of alphabetizing the lists. Like restaurants in alphabetical order or fuel stations in alphabetical order. I would like to be able to just look for the ones we eat at .....

Hi all,

I was curious as to whether anyone knows if Mile Markers are available anywhere either as a POI or actually on any mapping software (google maps, map quest, etc).

These two fuel stations have come to Florida with vengeance. They are everywhere but the poi's application has not been updated.

When can we all expect the Thermoking files to be updated?

I've been lurking for about ~ 5 weeks now, Got my Garmin RV 760 at 99.9% - got POI's working like I think they should .... Red Light and Speed camera's as well.

Even have Flying J - Shell alert with .wav file at 1500 meters *** ALERT ALERT - Flying J Ahead !!! *** YAYAYA (works very well)....

Hi,

I tried to download the Factory tours POI in both the GPX and CSV format and failed.

Downloading the CSV file I get this message:
Sorry, CSV format is not available for this file.

While attempting to convert the GPX to XLS (using POI Conversion Software)I got this message:
Correct Format is: Maximum length is 1024 characters

How do I report a corrupt POI file?

Thanks,
Art

Does anyone know of a good, quick tool (other than EPE) that can find duplicates within a stated range?

I've been looking at lots of POI files from this site and elsewhere and the names, descriptions and addresses are loaded with superfluous wording, unnecessary punctuation, spacing, characters, etc. Please don't misunderstand me, I appreciate those who take the time to create POIs but I just don't understand why so many characters are used?

why do all the known speed traps have to be by area download that's a lot to keep up with. how about one file to download all like the red lite camera file or speed camera file.

Is there an easy way to convert interstate/highway mile markers to gps coordinates? I am thinking not but decided to ask this silly question anyway. Maybe someone has figured out a way to create these waypoints. Thanks. eKeith

Is there any interest in a POI file of Rock Shops across the US? I was thinking of talking to the people who run http://www.awesomerockshops.com about using their list as a basis.

I have a Garmin nuvi 2597.

Is it possible to create "directional alerts" in custom POI files? For example, typical red light camera locations (at least in my area) only have one or two cameras aimed at traffic in those two respective directions yet a gps user will get proximity alerts from all directions.

Hi. As I mentioned in my introduction thread, I'm currently working on a POI file for Planet Fitness gyms all across the USA. I work out here, and have a black card membership which allows me to go to any location, and I know how it feels when you can't just have a location right there on your GPS. While I was on vacation in Florida, I wanted to work out at PF.

Vito has asked that a discussion thread be opened for his supplemental to the Indy Truck Stops file.

This file contains a bare bones supplement to the main file found here http://www.poi-factory.com/node/30339

Is there a POI project that gives alerts for streets that are in school zones?

is there a POI for all the bowling alley's in North America?

How does one add an image to their POI category, like in "Rest Areas".
