|
|
I've suggested some of these changes before, but never had a reply from one of the PGPSW team. I would appreciate a response from someone in the know?
1. Dixons/Currys Digital (Shopping - Consumer Electrics). Why do both of these POI categories exist? Dixons stores have now been rebranded Currys Digital. Are there still any original Dixons stores left? See http://www.dixons.co.uk/martprd/editorial/currysdigital. I suggest merging these two POI categories.
2. LivingWell Premier Health Clubs (Recreation). All clubs were sold and rebranded as Bannatynes Health Clubs. I should know, I'm a LivingWell member, and although I can still use my own gym, this rebranding has caused me all sorts of problems trying to use other clubs in the chain! I suggest renaming the existing POI category. I sent a suitable icon for Bannatynes in my email to POIs@pocketgpsworld.com on 9th April, and can re-send if necessary.
3. Homebase (Shopping - Other). Wouldn't it be more logical to file Homebase under DIY & Home, rather than Shopping - Other? |

Is there any news on when this work is likely to be done? Should I start submitting the individual POIs one by one?
I've also discovered another category which is incorrect. The building society Birmingham Midshires is no longer branch-based, so that POI category is no longer valid. I believe all the branches were passed over to Halifax, when Birmingham Midshires were bought by the HBOS group. |

Our POI Db Admin is on holiday at the moment, these changes will be implemented on his return.
Apols for the delay in updating the thread. _________________ Darren Griffin |
