I use the poi editor site http://www.poieditor.com/ to add my own. You could try this if you have the address or coordinates. I have always found it very easy to use.

Once again though, I think you can only add ONE address at a time with that site.

'young goat' wants to convert a large list of addresses. I hope he pops back because dhn's suggestion of http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/geocoder/ looks like the business.

That looks promising if I could work out how to use it from the data available. (doh !!)Embarassed

However I am going to have to abandon the project as the data is unreliable.
I put in some of the data into a new POI category I created, then went and verified a few, and found that most of those that I physically checked were not in fact open 24 hours. The website has a disclaimer to that effect
Quote:
Please Note: Just because a shop is listed as having a 24 hour alcohol licence doesn't necessarily mean that the shop is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
but I doubt if I can physically check all of them, and phoning all of them to check if they are open 24 hours is impractical, due to to huge number that are listed.
Unless I could enlist the help of other members who live in (or freqently visit)
London ?
