OK talking about TomTom POIs here but I guess same applies to the ones here. If a business moves to a new location, should you move the POI's position, or delete it and create a new one?

I would delete it and create a new one.

On this site move is the best way, as the new location is then referenced to the old location.

It only requires one step, and not two. Wink

Nt sure if you are talking about TomTom-supplied POIs or third-party ones for the TomTom, as the way to edit or correct them is different.
But if it is possible, I would think an edit to the original would always be best.

Definitely do it in one step (as an edit) then.
I wouldn't trust them to get TWO things right in a row! Wink
