What is the procedure for generating a large POI category that could contain thousands of POIs? I have POIedit, but don’t understand how to ‘scoop up’ lots of POI coordinates at a time. Is there a way to do this using Google Maps or a similar site?

 

POIedit can generate plenty of POIs but not 100% accurate.
The best method is to contact the company and ask for a listing of their locations in a spreadsheet. Finally, converting the addresses into gps coordinates using geocode websites.

Haha... Wow. And it still isn't listed in the most recent version.... And all of this time later!

 

You can add pois (built in) using Mapshare.

I have a list of all all global locations current as of Dec09. Anyone willing to convert to an ov2 file. I haven't had any luck with poiedit or any of the other tools.
