About POIfriend

POIfriend is the point of interest community that connects people and the places important to them. POIfriend is a powerful, fun and easy-to-use website that lets you find, create, comment, rate, share, and use POI (Point of Interest) information with GPS or maps. It is 100% FREE for users and detailed personal information is not mandatory.

 

If you own a GPS-enabled device, you already know the value it provides in getting you places you want to go – most often by voice-driven turn-by-turn directions. However, most users agree that many standard POIs pre-loaded on your GPS device are either out-of-date, incorrect, missing, and not personally relevant.

POIfriend.com was launched in October 2007 by an ambitious team to put GPS users’ needs first – and create an environment where the community builds content from ‘bottom-up’ to benefit everyone.

POI GROUP UPDATES NOW IN ALERTS!
We've further enhanced our alerts because you've asked! Just add any POI Group (that is not your own of course) to 'My POIs' (use the 'Tools' button). From now on, anytime that group is updated you'll receive an alert so you can always use the most up-to-date version.

NEW FEATURE - SHARE YOUR LOCATION
Check out the 'My Friends' area. You can now share your location with friends and family. For those who return the favor, you can view their locations... even see everyone on a 'friend map'. Stay tuned for even more innovations on the way!

ANNOUNCING OUR NEW ALERTS SYSTEM
We are pleased to announce our new automated 'Alert' system. Now users will receive e-mail notifications when they have new 'Suggies', Friend Requests, and shared POI Groups. Of course, you have complete control over whether you wish to receive alerts via e-mail!

GET SOCIAL WITH SOCIAL MAPS IN FACEBOOK
We've just launched the beta version of 'Social Maps' - a really cool 'powered by POIfriend' application for facebook.

'REGIONAL FOCUS' NOW ACTIVE
Now you can filter POIfriend by geographical region. Just look for this new feature above the POI Group list. If you create POI Groups, you'll now notice that you can assign it to a region (sub-continent) in the world.
