Custom POIs for GPS improve efficiency and safety

I can make a strong case for the fact that after downloading FREE custom POI (points of interest) database files from http://www.poi-factory.com/ that my driving has been more enjoyable, efficient, and best of all safer.

I've downloaded the following POIs that are invaluable for a GPS, especially a truck specific GPS like the one I own:

- Truck/RV fuel Stations (all the major truck stops such as Pilot/Flying J, Love's, etc.)
- Weigh Stations - USA (extremely thorough)
- Independent Truck Stops (Shell, Exxon, mom and pop, etc.)
- Rest Areas Combined (every rest area in the US)
- Low Clearance Underpasses (contains about 2500 locations)

I'm sharing this information for 2 reasons: 1) I like to help other drivers and I believe in the importance of these files for more safe and efficient trucking, and 2) the more people who download and use these files, then perhaps update them by submitting new/corrected entries back to The POI Factory website, the more thorough and accurate these files will be for me as well as others. It's a win-win for everyone!

Cheers, and safe driving!

I have not been able to get my account to work at poi factory. Isn't it an automatically generated email for registration? I've yet to get an email to register.

The person that maintains the post needs to be made aware of any corrections
