| Posted by Spith Pay money to upload POI's? 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 |
| Posted by Mark Re: Pay money to upload POI's? Hi You've got all correct! You can download free POIs even without subscription. The lifelong Speed and Red camera database registration costs less then a monthly subscription for a Uniden GPS. You will still be able to manage your own POIs and to promote your business. Similar service costs 10 times more elsewhere. Regards |

| Posted by steve.wilton1 Do it The cost is less than some places charge for lunch. don't be cheap. spend the money. Its well worth it. :) |
| Posted by adam_d_richardson worth it I don't think this is in anyway ironic as for a very small fee you can add your business to POI files downloaded by loads of people and your business is there on there Sat Navs. In terms of advertising this is pretty deep penetration into peoples everyday lives and it is just a very small one off fee. Worth it as far as I am concerned. |
| Posted by pierrelasvigne Worth every penny I totally agree with adam_d_richardson, fee is very small, and the data you found here + the forum to help you use it has a much higher value. I prefer to see my registration fee as an investment to download POI and share my owns. Sheers |
