Any suggestions for new areas, new crags or anything at all to do with POI's please post them up. also feedback and error reporting is welcomed.

[SA Chris]

Excuse my ignorance, but what info do you need? I could give you some info for some scottish spots, if they were of any interest to anyone?

[Jim]

any stuff really as long as its a half decent venue and people would go there.

[SA Chris]

Sorry, I mean what info do you need to be able to set it up? Grid Reference? How many figures?

[Jim]

Ahh I see. Anyway really. as long as I can navigate to it on a map (eg multimap, google maps etc...) then that is fine

[SA Chris]

Ok, will get out guides when I get home.

[Bonjoy]

Some missing peak crags. Surely all at least as significant as Sharpcliffe/Wolf Edge?

Wharncliffe SK308963  grid ref is for  the parking at the top of the bouldering area I.e 2min walk in.
Shining Cliff SK328518 grid ref to the turnoff leading. Drive a further 300m up track to get to parking.
Stanage North SK227877 grid ref for parking and approach from Moscar Lodge on A57
Rivelin SK276869

Just installed the POIs on my Tom Tom One without any trouble. Only small point is that when I select browse to a particular crag it has a distance in miles. I am not sure what this relates to? Maybe from your house to the crag?

[Jim]

I would of thought it was from your home location or current position to the crag. POI files only store a coordinate, a name and a phone number.

[Bonjoy]

What's the phone number for Burbage West?

[Jim]

I'm very tempted to moderate your posts Lovejoy with my new found moderating powers but unfortunately you would just moderate them back seeing as you have the same powers.
Damn
I think it 4456713 btw

[Bonjoy]

Must have changed, it used to be 5318008
I'll shut up now

[Jim]

they had to disconnect that line, some fool kept ringing up asking about bee-hives

[Johnny Brown]

You may laugh, a phone at burbage west would be very handy as its in signal hole for orange at least. I was once at Porth Ceriad when the SOS phone rang. We picked it up, they asked what the surf was like. We told them it was 6ft and clean. We lied.

Looks like Jim might have to start driving round with his arms inside his car.

[Serpico]

Hi

I just thought I would post this application, in case people find it handy.  It's a shareware (free download) program that manages all of your poi files from your desktop PC and saves/loads them to/from your Mobile Device.

PoiEdit also enables you to download a vast range of poi files from the most used poi sides in e.g. the UK, France etc

http://www.poiedit.com/

Also for the truly stingy and hungry, greasy spoon eating - a POI database of truckstop cafes in UK and Europe:

Being sad & geeky I've created a file with most of the Yorkshire crags.

www.yorkshiregrit.com/yg/poi/yorkshiregrit.zip

Jim - feel free to nab any of the extra crags for your file, or feel free to ignore them cos they're all esoteric crap.
