Isn't that wot i just did!?? N53 32.484 W0 09.595

However.. All well and good for those that are already known... but my point is more about.... say....
Being in France and looking for that IBIS or F1 in an area that's totally unfamiliar!?? ... when in fact it could be a few miles away!!

I'm not "avin a go".. I see you've put some effort in both converting and posting.. However... some will "take them as read" only to be ... perhaps disapointed...

So my question about reliability still stands... i reckon!? :thumb

Just open the attached file Kev has put on. If you don't already create a folder for Garmin Mapsource routes and way points. Just go to the drop down menu, on the open file and click 'Save as' and select your Mapsource folder, easy peasy, lemon squeezy. :thumb
 
Another vote of thanks from me and another vote for WW1 poi's please if that's possible.
 
Heres one...

I've found a way of getting a waypoint file for any kind of business in the UK. Not brand specific like a lot of the ones above but general business headings. Everything from Abattoirs to Zoos. Let me know if theres anything you want. The list is quite long :thumb
for you Knocking shops in Europe...... :D
 
This is a very uesful thread !

Me wonders though if all of these links are coming off another site- or is genuine research involved here :mmmm

:D
 
You mean like, Watton is using an online mapping product and searching out, then cutting an pasting, every waypoint he is posting??? Naa...

More like he's doing a bit of data mining using one of the map authoring tools...

I'd download anything you think you might want now... in case some copyright holder takes umbridge...

Al... :thumb

There is no copyright holder for the lists of co-ordinates used. The original compiler of the lists made them freely available on the internet in another form.

I've taken those lists and converted them into a useable format for Garmin GPS units. They aren't being sold or being used for comercial gain they just being made available now in another format :)
