MRA developers, please add to poi's and waypoint icon choice list for campervan travellers

Inge Bakermans

MRA developers, could you please add an Information Centre/ Visitor Centre icon and a park4nighticon to the poi and waypoint icon choice list. As a campervan traveller I find myself missing these 2 icons to choose from. Would be brilliant if that is possible and also if the poi icons could be given distinct, sticking-out colours.

Also extremely handy for campervan travellers would be a water refill icon (in order to know where to fill up your watertank) and one for a dumpstation.

Hope that these icons will be added to the choice list or that we as users get the possibility to load up a few custom icons to the waypoint and poi choice list.

@Inge-Bakermans I love your idea, but I think we will never get a full list of POIs out of the box (means the app itself). I am driving with a car and a camper trailer (mini caravan) - so park4night is especially for RV (motorhomes) - they don't care about caravan drivers, so I rely on other sources and the option for camping sites in general. So, there would be only motorhome sites, but not for caravans, but I like to see also the places, where I am allowed to park and overnight with my trailer!
Water refill, latrine, dumping station etc. for others it might be MCD, Burger King or any other useful POI. Means everyone has different preferences and tastes, and it will be difficult to take them all into account and realise them.

The only solution right now is to use custom POIs, where you can import POIs that you want to see. There are several web sites, where you can build and download your own POI base.

Here are some links to such POI services:

https://www.poihandler.com/

http://www.poi-factory.com/
https://www.poibase.com/
https://www.pocketnavigation.de/
https://www.archiescampings.eu/ (may no longer be available?)

There are more sites if you ask your search engine... some are localized and require an account. But I'm sure you'll find some useful POIs and can create export and import these into MyRoute.

@Cookie-On-Tour True that we all like to have different choices. However, for eg places to eat there is an icon - you just label it with the name of the restaurant.

Since MRA is expanding to cater for motorhomes, I think it is also important to add poi/ waypoint choices that are for motorhomes. Which means that refill points, dumpstations, P4N, Information Centre/ Visitor Centres in my opinion should be added. Or give us users a possibility to add a certain number of your own icons to the poi and waypoint choice list so that we can add them ourselves.

Lists of pois might work in Europe but not e.g. in The Americas, Asia and other continents. Which is where I will be spending the next couple of years.

Okay, you are more about the icons/symbols?

Why, should POI not work outside of Europe? Too many?

Inge Bakermans

@Cookie-On-Tour Indeed way too many & not the ones that are important to me.
