Dave, At the moment there isn't a way of importing/exporting POIs, so it isn't possible to share the POIs with people unless they are using the Sendero GPS, which includes all of the BrailleNotes as well as the VoiceSense. People have different methods of Recording User POIs, but I will give a quick run down of what I do in three different situations, college campus, buses, and stores. College: POI name? (building name), Holt Details? (college name), San Joaquin Delta College Subcategory? School Bus: POI Name? (bus line, number and direction), AC Transit. 72 NB Details? (intersection), San Pablo and University Subcategory? Bus/Rail Store: POI Name? (Name of store) Target Details? (address) 2244 Sutter Creek Rd, San Pablo, CA Subcategory?

I'm new to the group and have a question about naming points, specifically on college campuses. I just searched the archives but didn't come across answers to my question. Any feedback would be great! For starters, does a standard exist to create POI names for buildings, etc. on campuses so that it is useful all users of any kind of GPS device? (also if a standard exists does it include the recommendation that any POI should include all information that is available in visual signage [ie. building name and services or on an emergency call box directions on how to use it if not already provided in braille]?) I am trying to create POIs for the college campus across the street from me. I do not attend this college but wanted others to have access to the POIs. My method had been to follow this formula: 'college name' then 'building name' then 'details.' I thought by entering the college name first then anyone searching POIs would simply be able to type the college name as the search string. But I've discovered that when walking around the campus it becomes annoying to 1. hear the college name constantly and 2. taking extra time to listen to college name and 3. not being able to simply type in building name. I'm considering changing all the names using the following technique: To circumvent the need and use of using the college name for each point, I figured it would work to create one POI for the main entrance or primary building (university center or union) with the college name at the beginning. Any additional POIs for the campus would have the campus name after the building name. A user, if planning a visit, can simply make the 'main' point the virtual location and search more easily among the other campus points from that virtual location; or if already on campus can search points in GPS mode. Would this technique be useful for anyone using any type of GPS? Any feedback would be great! Thanks! Dave _____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
