I like the Streets and Trips Megafile for several reasons: They each have their own unique icon and are very recognizable as you look on your map. Pick one you want to see, right-click on it and choose ‘Show Pushpin Set.’ In the example, I have chosen to Show Elks Lodges, Corps of Engineer parks, and Fairgrounds. The list of pushpin sets from the Megafile are showing on the left side, if you scroll up or down, you’ll find all 220 sets. If you don’t use Streets and Trips, you are limited to downloading individual sets of POIs yourself from places like Discovery Owners.Įach set of data is called a Pushpin Set and once you’re viewing Streets and Trips, you have the option to Show or Hide any given pushpin set. It is specifically made for MS Streets and Trips. The current file is meant for the S&T 2013 program and it is dated June. You can download this POI Megafile for free. Same thing with Elks Lodges that offer RV parking for their members. That includes campgrounds like Thousand Trails that usually do not show up on other lists because it requires a membership. Many of them are very near and dear to RVers. It is a currently a compilation of 220 categories, containing thousands of points of interest. This is a file that is used in combination with Microsoft’s Streets and Trips program. Our favorite is the Streets and Trips program, with the POI Megafile. As we travel by RV, we’ve gathered lots of different sources for finding places to park and stay.
