Hi

The NatWest site has an excellent free set of POIs for cash Machines
and Branches at
http://www.natwest.com/microsites/g...ferrer=T2credit

There are files for Destinator, Garmin, Navman and TomTom - all as
ZIP files.

Oddly, the parent company, RBS doesn't have the same for it's own.

Hope it helps

David

So do I. I suggested it to them two years ago, that it would be a good idea to
provide POIs for their cashpoints. After all they have that info., and you can
find the nearest cashpoint from their website. But not everyone has access to a
computer and an internet connection with them on the street, or in their car,
but more and more people do have sat. nav.

Clearly, Lloyds are not "the listening bank".

I suggested this to BP, for their petrol stations, with the benefit to them
that people would be more likely to buy their fuel, they sent me a paper
book with a list of addresses in!

Wonder how up-to-date it was ;-)

My c330 appears to be pre-loaded with most/all of the major
European brands of filling stations, Shell, BP, Texaco, Elf,
Aral etc plus the supermarket ones.

Put it this way, I've never had a problem finding fuel whilst
in an area unknown to me, either in the UK or Europe.

So either the data exists or Garmin have created the data from
the 'paper book' info. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be a
seperate file (well, I can't identify one with the data !)

I think you should make it your duty to personally check
the accuracy of them all, update it and post the results
here for us !

I've tried several POI sets for my tomtom, for petrol stations, there's a BP
about 100 yards down the road from me on the main road, all but one place
the BP garage several hundred yards from where it really is and place it in
a one-way system, not on the main road!

That's why I'd like an official one from BP, not sure I can trust the ones I
have.
