BUMP...I am interested in seeing if anyone has developed anything like this...AFAIK there is nothing for Iguidance.

Ive been throwing together an app that archives yellow pages from superpages.com and then enters the coordinates it spiders from the web page into iguidance.

But what custom POI would you put in that it doesn't already know?

I still don't know how to make the custom POI appear on the map.

Wow, so all these screenshots Ive been seeing of iGuidance with POI icons have all been put into the program by the user? Wow, that sucks...lmfao

No, the screenshots are of the built in POI.

isn't iGuidance able to use contacts from Outlook? (it does on my iPaq)
so..loading them into Outlook Contacts is all that's req'd to get them into iGuidance (in my iPaq)

I'ven't tried this w/ the PC version of iGuidance.

How do you get the built in poi?

In any town Ive been to, Ive yet to see any poi.

I'm definitely interested in this. Please let us know when you're done with it.

Alright, but it probably won't be for a while. The interface looks like crud and its not very practical yet. It does navigate to the locations in iGuidance, but it doesn't yet know where you are yet so it cant list businesses by distance.

However... it does collect alot more informantion that the iGuidance POI DB does not have like featured products, payment options, and hours of operation... thats usefull stuff there.
