 |
|
The actual location of the AIX en Provence Carrefour is several kilometers away from the location contained in the POI file.
I'm not sure how to report this problem, other than here; I couldn't a mechanism to report faulty POIs. |

The form doesn't work. With Country set to 'France', action set to 'Removal of POI', category set to 'Shopping Supermarkets etc', the sub cat items are stuck at UK values.
I don't know where the actual tru POI is as I never got there; I had driven past it several kilometers due to the incorrect POI. |

We do not have any POI for CarreFour in the PocketGPSWorld database. You must be picking the erroneous location from some other database on your satnav.

That's what i thought, but I'm not all the clever with French names. Is CarreFour a shop or town? |

That must be an old page!!! The BP Petrol Station (UK and Germany) POIs i've downloaded were created in September 2002!!! In fact the carefour one is dated July 2003!!
More up to date POIs are CLICK HERE |

You are quite correct  When the new dynamic POI database was created I used a lot of the old UK POI files in the startup release but I have never uploaded the non-UK ones. It would now seem to be a good thing that I did not load the Carrefour one
