| Posted by odailys Roadworks POIs I could really use a PIO database of roadworks in my area. Idealy these could be avoided when plotting course in much the same way toll roads can be avoided etc. How can I create a POI file so that I could avoid the points in it? Do I just call it "Traffic", and select to avoid traffic? (In Melbourne we do not have a fm traffic data service, so this function cannot be used here) I could create a poi file each week for planned roadworks as listed by Vicroads (metro and country). Would this sort of thing be of interest to others? Stephen |
| Posted by Mark Re: Roadworks POIs Good idea. You can create and manage that POI file here. Regards |
| Posted by gdu Re: Roadworks POIs Great idea - particularly if you can link the roadworks to a speed warning. Roadworks seem to pay for themselves in speeding fines for unwary drivers |

| Posted by macaribarin Roadworks POI I can see how it would be useful for longer road occupations like additional lanes in freeways, or grade separations of level crossings. These can often take months or somtimes years. |
| Posted by nick3333 Roadwork POIs Major roadworks can run for months and are planned a year in advance. It would be reasonable to incorporate them - I'd certainly use them |
| Posted by peterpikefisher Council roadworks Council should contact satnav vendors, ideally within 24 hour of start/completion of major roadworks. |
