| Through the starbucks.com store locator, I went to each state and it pulls up all the stores for each state (20 at a time). I then pull up link to each location and extract the address, phone, lat, long from the HTML source. Then repeat. I wrote a program that does this. Some sites are very "programmer" friendly with their store locators, others are slow or won't have lat/long so it becomes more tedious to pull that information. |

You, sir, are awesome. I thought about doing it one time by hand, but I'm sure it would quickly be out of date. Thanks.

| The programs I write are site specific so they can't be used for any POI except the one I write them for. |

mors,
I do not have a POILoader capable GPS yet, so can not get it to launch.
What is needed for POI's? Do you need lat/lon?
I went to the IN-N-Out site and they have a table with 195 restaurants. I would love to "give back" to the site by making this POILoader capable, but do not have the programming knowledge of how to do it.
Thanks for any suggestions. |

I looked for the link about Magellan POI Manager but could not find it. Could you tell where it is? I looked under Maps and POIs.

Well yes, so far. Please stick to the other thread you've started about the Magellan POI Manager so we can discuss issues specific to its use.

Wow! I'm so excited that all of these POI's have been added in the past few weeks. I immediately installed BestBuy, Circuit City and Radio Shack. But only problem is, the closest Radio Shack location comes up as over 2000 miles away in California!!
I'd like to request some more Radio shack stores on that list, and if that's impossible due to the over 5000 locations, can someone please focus on the New York area stores? |

Hum...I think you're missing the point here, the way this works is people build and share databases that are of interest to them, they're certainly open to suggestions, but if you see data that's missing, the best way to approach this is by adding it yourself and then sharing it too.

All,
I am planning to start building speed traps and traffic camera POI's in the next few weeks for the states from Delaware to Maine (since I travel from VA to ME during the holidays). I am posting it here just to make sure that I am not duplicating someone's effort. This will take a while, but will try to post one state at a time starting this month. Just keep an eye out on this thread. |

It seems like the built-in POI database has plenty of Radio Shacks. And, since Radio Shack has stopped selling full franchises in the USA, the list has been stable for a while.
Has anyone noticed Radio Shack gaps in the built-in Garmin POI database?

I noticed a few gaps locally in the bulit-in Radio Shack database; I'm working on filling them in now. My POI list of Panera Bread locations in New York State is almost ready, though...

I have an excel spreadsheet of many Radio Shack store locations, I was able to get longitude/latitude from a website, and I saved again as a excel spreadsheet.
I converted it to a tomtom ov2 file using POIEdit and it loses all the info except store #, and longitude/latitude.
How do I keep the information such as telephone # for use with the 'Call Feature' built into tomtom5? |
