McDonalds-Removing the locations within a Walmart

According to the McDonalds website, most of the locations inside a Walmart have been removed or are in process of removal. There are 628 locations presently in the file and according to the website around 150 will remain. To determine which ones to leave in the file, it will be necessary to look at each location individually. Too bad that they didn't decide to remove all of them.

Factory Shows One Of My POI's Is Outside US

I loaded my MO Cemeteries POI file, and it shows 10,225 entries. It also says one of them is outside USA/Canada. What would be an easy way to find that one? Anything in EPE that might do the trick?

Canadian NP Red Chairs?

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has created a POI file listing all the locations of the 'Red Chairs' in Canadian National Parks.
I believe the information is available in bits and pieces but not all together anywhere, that I've found.

Importance of phone numbers in POI files

As I work on my Bank of America POI file I have been noticing a lot of branches that are "Temporarily" closed. Also, there are now a number "Remotes" that are no longer open 24 hrs.

Wisconsin State Natural Areas

I'm planning to start work on a POI file for Wisconsin's State Natural Areas which the Wisconsin DNR describes as "areas that protect outstanding examples of Wisconsin's native landscape of natural communities, significant geological formations and archeological sites." I didn't realize the scope of this project at the beginning but will still give it a try.

Has Anybody Here Been More Motivated To Do A New POI Project Due To The COVID-2019 Restrictions?

As posted above, since some people have more time of their hands lately, have you been more motivated to start a POI project for something to do?

Best Western USA Missing Half of Locations?

Something seems wrong with the Best Western USA POI files. In the list of updates, it shows that 960 locations were removed but only a handful were added. When downloaded to my Garmin, it only lists locations within 142 miles from my home in Michigan. Can anyone help with this?
Thanks1

Studio 6 Motels

The Studio Six file is complete.
Added and deleted several motels, in the US and Canada.
This file is separate from the Motel Six file.
I believe if you are looking for Studio Six you don't want to be bothered with Motel six
that is why I separated them.
If you see something wrong please let me know, and I will fix it.
Thanks Pete

BurgerKing file update.

I decided that it was time to update this file. In the past updates,it was an extremely slow process that included going to a state listing and next to a city listing and hoping that all cities were listed.

Multiple Devices (transfer favorites from 3 to a new DEZL 580)

A simple question (handling phone numbers in EPE)

I expect this is a simple question but I'm new to creating a POI file from scratch. I've created a file using EPE v6.04 if that will matter. What I've found is that when I add a Comment in EPE as well as having address, city, state, and phone, I end up with a csv line as in this example:

Marathon Gas

I am currently working on the Marathon Gas file, it only has the Name and Coord's
Will take me a while to update, and will upload updates once a week after the file is moved to me.
If you have any Q's just e-mails me.
Thanks Pete
