[gps-talkusers] adding to the User collective POI database

To give users an example of points I recorded while in Spain and the UK, check
out the following. I have stripped off the lat/lon from the first half of these
points I recorded in Barcelona and Madrid. You can see in the second half how
the lat/lon is paired with the name of the point. This is how your User POI
files appear once they are converted from the BrailleNote compressed format.
Notice when I record the bus stops, how I try to use consistent language, which
would hopefully make sense to another user. I also annotate restaurants worth
mentioning. Most importantly, I take every opportunity to record points
particularly because the POI data in Europe is weak. I really should add a
comma and the city name after each of the points but there isn?t always time
when walking to do this. I?ll follow the Spain list with UK points. On June 1,
these and other points contributed by users will be included in the Europe,
U.S. and Canada User POI files posted at
<file:///http://www.senderogroup.com/download.htm>http://www.senderogroup.com/download.htm.
I encourage everyone to add to this collective user POI database.
