If you fancy a challenge, you can start us off with a few for the UK and we'll create the category?

| All the ones I've seen have been at BP stations with the M&S food bit. |

Since they are a multinational franchise, perhaps you should approach them and see if they will give you a list of locations and permission to distribute them as sat nav POIs. Or perhaps they will produce a POI list and update it themselves?
I can't see why they wouldn't, they have the data and it would be good business, surely.

You'd think that wouldn't you!
But companies can be funny, or downright paranoid sometimes.
Alternatively, they may just think there's money in it for themselves...
Long, long ago, we approached CAMRA about the possibility of converting their Good Pub Guide to a POI set. They were not interested in doing it themselves at all, but refused to give permission for us to do it as a community effort.
I notice now they have it for sale on their website for £5! |
