Another thing witht he POI database is its about goin to places you DONT know where they are.. like if i'm driving in another state and wanna go to a local park, gas station or atm. Thats why the POI is really needed.

figure'd i'd bump this in lieu of iGuidance 3 coming out maybe someone has some more POIs for us by now?

**** i am having the same problem with POI for iguidance 3.0. The POI will not detect Fry's Electronics or Best Buy on the map. Those are the 2 favorite stores that i love to visit in California when I am in different location. **** how do you update POI iin iguidance 3.0?

Yeah, that was me that started that a loooong time ago.
I sent a disk to this dude in Canada, he said he got all the Lexus POI's imported into iGuidance. Then he just disappeared.
So, I don't know whether to believe him or not.

I still have some (many) Lexus disks for anyone that wants to try this.
I do ask for a couple of bucks shipping to cover shipping. I don't want to get stuck with the shipping costs if 20 people want these.
I also ask that I get included in the results, especially if succesfull

Email me rick82@hotmail.com (and PP me a couple of bucks) with your address if you want a disk. It's the generation 3, version 3.1 . I think it's either got 1 million or even 6 million POI's.

If someone can get this to work, I could get ahold of the latest disk, which I think has 10 million POI's!!!!

This is the ONLY thing I dislike about iGuidance...lack of POI's.

I sure wish someone could do this.

hey buddy I will support you all the way. I know a guy who work as a programmer for a company. Let me ask him if he wants to try to figure out how to import POIs into guidance. Dam if this is successful, Iguidance will be unstoppable.

so any word on whether the friend is going to help? or did you send it out to anyone?

**muldrick** · 10-30-2006, 12:55 PM

Nope. Guess no one can do it. It's beyond my knowledge and time.
Really sucks, I sure was hoping someone could do it.

I sent you a PM muldrick about information for the disc, i am going to give it a go with my friends and call in some favors from my CS (computer science) and SE (software Enginering) friends and there friends to see if we can get anything outta this disc.
