I have a Wal-Mart overlay already. What my buddy and I are working on (for truck stops right now) is making the imported POIs clickable so you can click and bring up a web page for that location and see what services and amenities are available there.

Since you put it that way, upon closer inspection the Wal-Mart 2010 Store Directory/Atlas looks like an even better buy,
and it's only $5.97, not $5.99. :D

But that's just one more book I'd have to carry. :lol:

Well, here's the finished product. This is Flying J Travel Centers with clickable links to the individual location's webpage where you can see the services and amenities available, fuel prices and availability, phone numbers, etc. I attached both the text file and the gpx file so you can take whichever you prefer. We are currently working on Pilot and intend to do Petro and TA after that. Hope you find this useful.
