[gps-talkusers] Re: Sub Categories that don't work

Hello everyone,
What I believe what has happened is a data consistency problem with the POIs from TeleAtlas. Some states may have for example "Subway" marked as "Restaurant" subcategory "Subway" which is correct, where in other states it is just categorized as "Restaurant". Sendero does not do any post processing on the POI data from TeleAtlas, we just convert it from their format into our own, so if a POI is miss-categorized it will be miss-categorized in our software as well. We will bring these discrepancies to TeleAtlas in hopes they can fix the issue at their end in future releases. One thing to note is there may be a "Subway Sandwich" put into the bonus category. Bonus POIs are POIs TeleAtlas gets from other third parties and these POIs have not been categorized at all and thus fall into the "Bonus" category. 

I hope this sheds some light on why this is happening.

Charles.

In a previous message I discussed some of the sub categories that did not appear to work. They included The Waffle House, and I can't remember for sure what else. Add to that Papa John's Pizza, there is a category for it but I could not find anything in that category. If I do a search under all though, I can find several. Subway is another example of categories that do not appear to work.
Also, If I do an address search for my address, enter the street number then the street, it comes up with an address that is close but will not let me pick my address. Am I doing something wrong?Sub Categories that don't work
