Looking for a POI with all the state parks and other places to pitch a tent. Is there such an animal or should I just look for state parks and start ringing phones?

I saw that but unless I'm missing something...and I probably am...that doesn't look like it has much on the west half of the country. :confused:

Yeah.. those are MC related campgrounds...

Actually, if you're looking for State/Nat'l parks I don't have a POI file for those.. I should make one as it would be good for MotoCampers as well.

I'll typically search for 'state park' or 'national park' on the zumo and that works better than a poi file.

Here's one option but I've never used this site before.

try this one from poi factory
open the csv file edit out the states you dont need convert to gpx and pick and choose, get ready for mapsourse to take a moment to load it up and paint the screen with 3800 waypoints.....

Ok whats the trick to upload attachments? Was going to upload the .csv file not a choice in the upload manager, renamed it to xls,doc,txt no joy

I've used this site quite a bit...and it's been great. The Red Light and Enforcement camera locations POI's have been worth the membership fee plus a lot more! We've got a ton of those cameras in the Richardson/Plano, Texas area.

Joe,

You got that POI list made up yet??
I gave it some thought till I did a search
just to see how many National Parks/Monuments
were listed :eek: that is NOT counting all the
State parks... The list would be huge...

I'll let the POI factory do that one.. I figure, it's easier to search the base maps for 'national' or 'state' parks.
