This isn't qctually a Quest specific question...other than I'm looking to load data onto my Quest...but I couldn't find any other forum to ask it.
Does anybody know where I can find information on what eating places are at each of the UK motorway services?
I'll bet there are some mums and dads out there other than just me and the other half who when travelling to Cornwall on the M5 for example are faced with the question "Dad, can we stop at McDonalds/Burger King,KFC...?" At the moment I either have to cause death and carnage by slowing down and trying to see what's at each services before commiting myself to the slip road (just kidding 8O ) or do a drive through and waste time

| Does 'find near' not locate restaurants, including McDonalds? |

There are plenty of eating places to be had in the Garmin POI under "Place Category Food & Drink" but I suspect it is limited to the places that subscribe to some database or other (Restaurants R Us Weekly, perhaps). Mcdonalds, or any other of the "fast food" places (BK, KFC, Pizza Hut...) are not included much to the annoyance of my back seat passengers.

I'm sure it used to find McDonalds with City Select v4 but it doesn't find them now.

Perhaps the Garmin legal boys got nervous in linking the words "food" and "McDonalds"
