Hardly any POIS appeared on a journey from Reading to Exiter. Admittedly we
were on the M4 and M5 but I am used to seeing all kinds of things along that
route.
Around Reading there are very few POIs.
I have now reinstituted some of the 2013 POI files and am a bit happier.
The POIs in the UK certainly need to e sorted out as there are a great many
duplicates and redundant POIS on the 2013 maps.

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
