California I5 rest stops?

[DrMatt]

To The Great Powers That Be:

Taking a trip from NoCal to SoCal along I5. Does the current rest stop POI database include I5 ones? If not... could I please request them?

Thank you!

Take a look at this site: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/maint/ra/Statewide.htm
This site has all the California rest stops (including which ones are closed) as well as the lat/long of the location. Also you can get the info specific to I5 northbound or southbound. The information is in tabular form so you can copy it and then paste into Excel. Then you can do some column swapping and deletions until you have three columns in the order of Latitude, Longitude and information. Save as a csv file and use any number of ways (I prefer GPSBabel) to convert it into a TomTom ov2 file.

Is this something we can add to the ever growing Rest Area v1.6...1.7 now (I think?) POI?
