Hi Steve,
Thank you for your feedback and I would like to see what I can do to
try to improve the sub-categories for the UK and all other European
POIs. The dataset I get from TeleAtlas is completely different
between North America from Europe, and I have to have different
mappings to convert their POI categories and sub-categories into our
own smaller set of categories and sub-categories. If you feel a
sub-category is in error I can try to see what can be done to fix the
issue but I will need a little information from you.
First I will need a Third Party ID for the POI in question (which you
can get from the POI Details.)
Then I will need the current Category and Sub-category the POI is in,
and then what category/subcategory you think it should be in
instead. If you can provide 2 examples for each issue then I can go
back to the original Data from TeleAtlas and see what category and
sub-category they had the POI set to and then figure out if I can
re-map them to the requested new category/subcategory.
I may not be able to do anything but I will let you know what I find
out. I.E.if you say that a Pub is listed under Restaurant, but if I
find that these Pub's have the same TeleAtlas Category number as
other real restaurants then I won't be able to fix the problem
because I will just move all restaurants to pubs or vice versa which
won't help anything. But I won't know what the issue is until I have
more information.
Thanks
Charles.

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.
Steve

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. -----Original Message-----

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

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. Kevin

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?
