Thanks for your post, Richard.  Are there many hotels, train stations, or
bus stops marked.  What about stores on Princess street or the castle and
museums.  I am just trying to get an idea of what to expect in Scotland...

Thanks for the help.

Judy

> Hi, Judy

Whilst the UK points of interest (POI) database is significantly larger with
version 3 as compared to version 2, sadly, it is no more accurate and still
very patchy - at least in the areas I've tried.  In my home town of
Edinburgh, for example, to date I've found no restaurants and there are a
large number of establishments which either ceased to exist or re-located
four to five years ago - places such as hospitals, so it's not your usual
come and go businesses!

Therefore, until a more up-to-date UK POI database can be provided, I
suspect the best bet for your trip is to hope that users create a plethora
of their own points and submit these to Sendero.

Regards

Richard Bartholomew
