Hi Steve,

Although there may be fewer POIs overall, I've found the 2014 sets far more useful. Many schools and churches, that were missing for years, have suddenly appeared, and other categories seem more up-to-date and relevant too. What sorts of POIs have you found lacking, and do you see what I mean about the improvements?

Best,

Peter

No explanation for the very significant drop in the number of UK POIs then.
It really is very substantial. Approx 60% of our High Street used to be
there now there are hardly any.

That file is there to tell the system to prompt for country instead of state
