**clon** · 9th May 2018, 10:12 PM

Hey guys...

I am trying to find POI's for Aldi/Lidl or any other interesting locations for whole Europe that "we" truck drivers can use and make our life easier

Anyone know or have them and willing to share?

Thanks.

That POI's are standard, included in all regular POI files from map providers.

many Market have a App online.
I periodically download the Europe L�DL-POI from Homepage and format it to KML

poiplaza's POIs are often too old and therefore wrong or absent

I've traveled across the border twice awhile, all were correct in 3 countries/several cities.
Also, it is good idea to download google offline maps for certain cities/areas, because they have much more detail for shops, small markets, restaurants and similar.

The problem is obvious... You are with 20m long truck, you can't just go anywhere and park. There are parkings near highway for trucks only on which you can find either lidl, aldi, hofer or some other supermarket. I thought there are other truck drivers that can share this info. I'll check with latest downloaded maps to see if POI's are showing something like that, but until now i couldn't find them anywhere.

Boki_Srb, he's right !
better www-google.xx/maps or MapsMe with OSM-Map offline, and you have the best overview

I have some Market-POI in my KML-[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Thank you for sharing this, will this work for my Android as well, i see many folders/files in there?

all KML works with Primo-Nextgen, put to Folder Userdata/Usericons/ the *.bmp for appropriate resolution

If you use truck poi and put also standard poi, you will have and see both. It's not a problem to see on the map where your preferred stops and markets match.
The problem is that they can overlap, so that you overlook them.
Therefore, planning is used before every trip.

I consider this thread to be a coherent one. It's just insufficient knowledge of matter and basic functions of igo.

One more thing - main function of iGO is navigation and all the elements that go with it. Only that.
Yes, some addons would make your work much easier, but ... for the doings of things, software is made which are very specialized and cost much more.
