 Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2004 1:13 pm Post subject: Looking for POI Restaurant database |
 |
|
Now that TTGO has been updated I'd like to load up a POI DB that covers some GOOD restaurants in the UK...... the built in restaurant POI is ok if you like pizza and burgers but not much use if you fancy a decent meal out 
Does anyone know where I can find a good database in ov2 format? |

Hi Wads,
If you can't find a suitable restaurant POI in the download section, then you could create your own using Richard's WinOV2 on a PC. 
Regards,

If I want a decent meal I use www.themobilefoodguide.com on my smartphone, pick my restaurant and then just navigate to the address given. For most entries I can also check out the menu and wine list before booking.
Not quite a poi, but at least I eat well. :D |
