POIs system not easy to use and other questions.

[adventurer]

First I can't easily locate service stations on motorways. Is there a POI for these.

Second I don't find PGPSW POI at all easy to use.

Say if I want Costa Coffee and Starbucks only I have to download all of Food and Drink and then copy over the above two into a separate folder so as to transfer later to my TT.

I also have to do this for fuel as I only want the supermarket petrol stations.

Would it be possible to view all the subcategories then tick the individual POI categories you want.

This will mean you then only download what you want rather that a whole list of POIs that you then have to sift though to get a few that you want.

Also, is there a program out there, that will allow me to once I have chosen my list of POIs I can then press one button and it will update all my POIs on my TT automatically.

many thanks

This isn't as difficult as you seem to think, against each main heading is a "+" sign, when you click that the heading opens up all the sub files available within it, simply select the files you require by ticking each box needed, do the same for the other headings until you have all the boxes ticked against the files you need (certainly not all of them). Check the "Show Link" box next to the download button, then download the files.

I have just tried the above to make sure the system is working correctly and my download comprised of:
ASDA Fuel, Costa_Coffee, Morrisons Fuel, Sainsburys Fuel, Somerfield Fuel, Starbucks and Waitrose Fuel. So it looks like the system is working fine.

I am not aware of any application you can use to manage the POI Downloads from this site as each download is created as requested. - Mike

... and further to Mike's reply, yes - there is a POI category for motorway service areas. It's under Transport.
