Anyone know where to get TomTom POI for UK Truck Stops please

You know, those places that serve tea in a big jug and a fat breakfast for £3

Email me direct at dealer.principal@virgin.net

i don't think the POI for truck stops actually exists right now.

however, if we could gather a comprehensive list of all stops and their as close to exact locations, i would help building the POI as i have a number of friends who would benefit from this POI.

(I am new to this so I do apologise if I say something silly.)

I don’t know if this will help you as I have not got a navigator yet (it’s in the post). I have been looking on a lot of sites for hgv navigation as I am getting a hgv driving job soon (I hope). Anyway I come across a poi for truck stops:-

http://www.poihandler.com/poi_download.asp

It is under restaurants but I have not viewed it so I do not know if it is very good.

Hope this helps though :D

You'll have to download Oldies POIConverter then. It works a treat.

As a Truck driver living away from home, I have been compiling overnight parking, truckstops & cafes for the TomTom, Most stops are for overnight parking with washing and eating facilities near by, so if anyone is interested, E-Mail me @ paul@wrawby.freeserve.co.uk and I will send you either the TomTom Ov2 and bmp files or the Exel file fof import into Autoroute. Ihope these are of some help. Smile

You could also buy the AA truckstop guide. My copy is in the truck at the moment but I'll try and remember to get the correct title this afternoon. The highways agency also do a free Truckstop guide for England which is available from their website, http://www.highways.gov.uk/news/10561.aspx
