Author POI Sites...

A while ago someone posted a site that had a whole list of downloadable POIs
on it. I'm looking for POIs for ASDA stores. Can anyone post the link
please?

Many thanks,

Marcus

When I try downloading (specifically the service stations POI group) from
that site it gives me a message saying that the compressed (zipped) folder
is invalid, no mater how many times i retry the download.

Fixed it - I checked "show link" and used that link to download, rather than
directly saving the file from the download button. Odd that it doesn't work
the first way though!
