Sat Nav POI
Hi, just bought a second hand Garmin sat nav for a trip to Orlando and managed update to the latest maps.
I thought it would be easy to find a POI file for the area (Parks etc) but really struggling to find one, unless I'm just really bad at searching I found the no chain restaurant map POI on the DIBB but can't find a more general one. I would appreciate any advice please. Thanks. |

What is a POI? I can only think of “person of interest”, I watch crime shows.

POI's much harder to manage now than before - best days was when google maps let you send to the Sat Nav
I have never used it but Garmin have a POI database and the instructions look quite good They also have a POI loader - again never used it. I have used Garmin Basecamp on the laptop to select and save POI's - it's clunky but works

have a look here
https://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/sho...d.php?t=898832 (feel free to bump the thread and/or suggest other places to add to it) *edit* just re-read your post. theres plenty of other non-restaurant POIs in there, including most of the parks (that actually go to the car parks rather than a random place) Edited at 01:21 PM. |

Thanks for all the responses, I really appreciate all your help. The POI database georgemac found looked perfect but when you actually try to use it, you can't really nail down a specific area of POIs but thanks anyway.
Wanye, I appreciate the effort you put into creating and maintaining the POI database and hadn't realised that yours has other points in addition to eateries. I had already installed it and could only see some restaraunts in the POI list but the other points are on there when I search for them. Last time I used a standalone sat nav was about 10 years ago and it was simple to find a complete POI list for any area you wanted, I was surprised that it's no longer so easy but I suppose it is s partly due to the demise of sat nav units and the rise of the mobile phone for navigation. Thanks again all. Edited at 09:46 AM. |
