POIs to add to your GPS



Web communities, such as POIfriend, are popping up on the web.
Although most GPSs have at least 6 million points of interest (POIs), it is not nearly enough.
If you are looking for a retail store not in your GPS, you may want to go to one of these communities and add their POIs to your GPS.
It is very easy to do, if you have your GPS connected to your computer.
Some POIs are 'direct' (click on it and your computer will automatically install it on your GPS.
You may also download and install POI Loader (here is the Garmin site), if the POIs you want to add are more than 50 locations.
If you use the 'direct' loader approach for your GPS, it will install only the first 50 locations of the POI closest to your home location.

If you are/become aware of POIs of interest (not included at POIfriend), let me know and I will update this blog item.
