I added POI's for Woodall Services on the M1 and suggested that they went under Category Transport with a new sub category of Service Station.
You have created a new subcat "Welcome Break" under Food and Drink and put them in there, which is fine, but I am thinking once I have added a number of other Motorway services POI's they could be under 3-4 different sub cats.
If you are on the motorway and want to know how far it is to the nearest services then you would have to do a "navigate to" 3 or 4 times to find the closest one.
Any ideas on this ?

I just tried this and for instance the services on J33 of the M4 aren't listed.

Thank you for the link but I thought that PocketGPSWorld wanted to be the definitive source on the web for POI's so unless PocketGPSWorld copy that POI onto this site they won't be.
I thought that you either create a new category Service Stations and then have sub cat for Welcome Break, Moto etc or use my original suggestion for a subcat of Service Station under the category of Transport.

They will be but it will take time, until then the link I gave should do for now.
