POIfriend.com, TomTom XL GPS
“POIfriend.com is based out of Toronto and was started by Dave Krawczyk and Bill McLean. It’s essentially a social network that allows users to create and share their own POIs within their group of friends or with the entire community. [...] The real magic happens when you download any and all POIs you aggregate and then transfer those onto your TomTom, Mio, Navman, Magellan or Garmin GPS device. That’s the beauty of this free service. Think of it as a mashup of Yelp, Facebook, and tripadvisor. The community rates and comments on just about every destination imaginable, which includes restaurants, hotels, theaters, and anything else that would be considered a point of interest.”
