GPS search engine

geepees · 07-24-2008, 3:37 PM

I have been working on a GPS search engine so you an enter your GPS address and it will display locations around you (you can then download the locations as a POI file) at the moment it is working but I need to add more locations to the database so I am still classing it in Beta mode.
The address is GPS Search engine and distance calculator and I am currently looking for POI files so I can add more locations.
If anyone has any POI files or constructive comments I would be grateful.
I could imagine it being useful for locating speed cameras/petrol stations for motorists or interesting locations for hikers.

Just added a section for checking the weather and other details for a GPS address.
It works by querying GeoNames which is a really good site and contains a lot of GPS info.
Also thank to Max for giving me the idea i'm going to go searching for more POI files now.
