Map / POI data

**mm_202** · 03-26-2007, 03:59 PM

Does anyone out there have/know of a POI database?
And a map database would be nice, too.

And if its a MySQL db, that would be amazing.

Thanks,

MM.

No one other there can help me?

Is this something that other people are interested in, or am I the only one??

Navteq has some POI great data in shapefile format, however, extremely expensive. There are some shady places online where you can find them.

I found a forum with lots of info about adding POI's and such:

I'm looking for something for iGuidance but haven't had any luck really. It seems kind of limited with adding custom/your own POI's.

Thinking about it some more, I guess you could easily extract POI from MapPoint using their object model. However, I don't know if that violates the EUA so you should probably check that out (if you care that is

)
