Thanks Steve for the info.

I thought they were somewhat hit and miss before ... so we'll just have to look at each POI and see if we can glean more from them, or pass on information as we find out! <Smiles>

Hi Guys

Since starting to use the new maps I have noticed that the POI
subsidiary categories on UK POIs seem to be rather suspect. I am
particularly concerned about the medical services category.

All the POIs in the medical services category seem to have been given
a subcategory of general practitioner. This would lead a UK user to
suspect that they were all doctors in general practice. This
subcategory has been applied to my wife who is a chiropodist. A local
hypnotherapist and Osteopath have been shown in the same way.

Other subcategories do not look much better. Most pubs seem to be
listed under restaurants whether or not they do food and
subcategories appear to have no entries at all.

I have reported the problems to Sendero but I cannot at the moment
find a way of reporting them to Telatlas as the web site seems to
only want to know about positions of businesses.

Also, another brand that isn't as widely known as these, but which
has had a lot of consistent good behavior as far as their pen drives,
SD cards and Compact Flash cards with the Braille Note even when it
did not take as many cards and drives as it does now is PNY.  They
are less expensive, for the most part, than the others are, as well.

Thanks, Kevin.  I love Newegg.  I just wasn't sure what brands,
besides Sandisk, work with the BrailleNote, and I didn't want to pay
for something I'd have problems returning.  So now I'll add Transcend
to my list of usable cards.  I remember Mike said he was using a 32
gb card.  Mike, what brand is it, and where did you get it?
Inquiring minds want to know.  <grin>

Peggy,

I would recommend brands, such as SanDisk, Transcend me many other
brands. I would suggest http://www.newegg.com as I have found very
good deals. For example, I found a 16GB card by Transcend for
around$50.

Okay, guys, now that our maps are bigger, does anyone know of a good
brand of compact flash card that's 16 or 32 gb, and where to get it?
I've just about filled my 2 gb card with maps for California,
Oregon, Washington, and
some extra POI files, and I'd like to store my stuff on a card with
a bit more room.  Does anyone know of any sales?
