Hello Paul
If you go to www.mysendero.com
Click on the Free downloads link
you will find a link called "Entire U.S. RMF POIs for 4.0" the direct
link is <http://www.senderogroup.com/poi/400RMF_USA.zip>Entire U.S.
RMF POIs for 4.0
The description past this link says the following "This zip contains
a quarter million U.S. POIs in one file. There will be both unique
POIs as well as some duplicates in many categories other than
restaurants and hotels. Last updated, August 1, 2007"
This BPI file goes in your maps folder along with your other
commercial POIs but it is completely optional and up to you if you
want to add it or not.
The link is the file "400RMF_USA.zip" which contains the file 400RMF_USA.bpi.
This contains POIs extracted directly from the RMF maps (hence the
name). Also attached to the end of each poi's description is the
letters "RMF" this will help distinguish these POIs from
others. There may be some duplicates of the POIs with the commercial
POIs from TeleAtlas and Info USA where we get these commercial pois
but there are some unique pois especially in regards to City Centers
in rural America.
Help this helps.
Charles.
