the trick is to update these things yourself as and when you come across them.
The POIs are a cooperative and rely on everybody updating them as they find additions or corrections.

however these supermarket files are quite out of date. Speaking as one who does a lot of 'dashboard dining' being able to find a local supermarket is quite useful. Many of the newer locals are not lis ... |

last lime I looked on the tomtom site, the comparison chart showed which TTs allowed 3rd party POIs.
