Hi Mike,
Thanks for the info on how user pois can be helpful. I haven't seen any user
pois in my local area apart from the ones I've created, after reading your
email I'll have to do a more advanced search for any public user pois.
I hope you continue to have an amazing time in costariko.
God bless,
Andrew

Subject: [gps-talkusers] the beauty of sharing user points of interest
As we drove from the San Jose Costa Rica airport to Puerto Viejo on the East
coast Caribbean side of the company, I had to rely upon user points since I
did not have maps for Costa Rica. I recorded several points on a previous
trip several years ago, many along the same highway. Wonderfully, Rich Irwin
recorded points in April 2007, something I could tell from the details of
the user points. I learned of an aerial tram half way along our trip, which
we hope to check out on the trip home.
As our driver told us about towns and sites along the 4 hour drive, I could
chime in with my own information. For example, he told us about a national
forest we went through and I could add that they had some amazing waterfalls
and the forest was 34 kilometers across, something recorded in my user
points.
The coolest thing so far was being able to touch Sloths and Monkeys in a
rescue center today. One of the monkeys climbed my cane and then perched on
my shoulder. From there, he leaped to the branches overhead.
It is now marked in the user database as the Jaguar Center but there aren't
any Jaguars there right now.
We are staying at the Tree House lodge, somewhat of a mobility challenge.
For those of you on my Foursquare list, you saw me check in there and it is
also in the Sendero user list now.
Anyone wanting to come to Costa Rica, I highly recommend Puerto Viejo, the
Tree House and the Jaguar Center.
