How long does it take to add a new POI? I have bean updating them and none of them have appeared on the map yet?

Are you changing an existing location, or adding a new one?

Do you have one as an example?

Are you submitting them on the POI Map itself?

It is adding a new location. EG, in the B&Q one, I have addres a depo. I used the map, and have got a e-mail back saying thanks.

P.S What is the eases eay to keep my POI up to date, i have not got that many, but I can see it being a task to keep on checking the web site.

When you say 'a depot', is it one where the general public would have access to, to buy?

If it is a storage/distribution depot not for public access, it wouldn't be much good in a DIY category.

The only way to keep up to date with the POIs, is to check to see if there is a later date on the database, than when you last downloaded. The date is normally updated at each revision. I only check every month or so, or just before I go on a long journey.

It might not be good for the GP, but what about deliverys? And if it is noted at a Depo then that should be ok.

If you think there's a need for a POI file containing B&Q depots, perhaps it should be created as a separate category under "Commercial Sites" rather than being included in the same category as the stores. In reality, they are two entirely different entities and to include them in the same file would be confusing to the general public.

You all seem to be thinking a B+Q "Depot" is some sort of storage/distribution depot not for public access.
In fact it's just a big B+Q.

Daggers - Are you a delivery driver who regulary picks up from B&Q Distribution Depots and then takes the goods to B&Q Stores and B&Q Depots (the warehouse type store)??

Is it the distribution depots you want?

This site that I am talking about is a distribution depot. NOT open to the public. But I do think that it should be include, But noted that is is a distribution depot and NOT open to the public.
