Just a question, or maybe more a point. It costs money to register on this sight correct? And Registration is required to add new POI's, even for the freely Downloadable POI's? So effectivly I am being charged to register so I can contribute to this site and add data that may be useful to others who may then decide to register or even buy a subscription to this site due to (in part) my contribution? Does anyone see the irony in this situation? Is this something that is going to be addressed or do you intend to just keep things this way to get as much money as possible (and probably discourage more people from adding the location of their local ATM's, restraunts, shopping centers, etc)? I understand that this may be a security measure to make sure POI's are real and noone messes up your data but I think there has to be another way to work this.
That said I am thinking of becoming a customer buy purchasing access to your Speed Camera Locations etc. If I do this will my regerstration become persistent even after my subscription terminates? Ie can I still log in with my subscription username and password after the subscribtion has expired just to do things like add POI's etc? Or do I get locked out with that username and password from everything when my subscription runs out?
Don't get me wrong I think this service is great. But if it is free to download the POI's for my bank's ATM's, why then should I be charged for the "privilage" to add new locations?
Thanks,
Spith |

Hi
You've got all correct! You can download free POIs even without subscription. Speed and Red camera database subscription (permanent subscription) costs less than 1 month subscription for Uniden GPS. You will still be able to manage your POIs as your username will stay active permanently. Do you have some better way to keep spammers away?
You are welcome if you want to add any business POIs for free distribution. Similar service costs 10 times more elsewhere.
Regards

Correct again.
Why would any end user pay for POI files that business owners want to list. On the other side, we can see a lot of reasons why to publish POIs and to advertise various business GPS locations in our POI directory...
