Does anyone know of a comprehensive POI File I can download onto an IPad to use on Traveller?

Are you aware of/have you downloaded the
Places database using Data Manager in Traveller?
Or are you looking for something additional to that?
Cheers

Yes thanks Frank.
Places current and downloaded.
I am looking for a file with a far more comprehensive list of POI’s as those included with Traveller do not include what I am looking for (eg camping spots, pubs, points of interest etc),
Despite having 90,000 there are lots more that could be included (for my use only) which should be on a file somewhere.

Look up Camps Australia Wide, they have theirs in a few formats for different systems available to buy.

If you do get a compatible file be aware that each user has a limit of 1000 private
Places (POIs). So if you get 10,000 or whatever from where ever, unless I'm mistaken you won't be able to use them all in Traveller.

As mentioned in my Reply to Andrew, if anyone does find a large file they want to import - just send it to us and we can review/cross check against what is in our system already and merge to ensure no duplicates so its available for everyone in the main
Places database.

Hi Andrew,
The 90,000+ POIs that are supplied with the app include camping spots, pubs, points of interest etc that you requested. Have you had a good look?
There are 77 different POI types (there are over 15,000 listings alone just for camps).
In addition - if anyone finds a publicly available file/downloadable database of additional POIs you feel would be good to add, just send it to us and we'll add to the public system. The advantage of this is we can run a data conflation to ensure there is no duplication when the POIs are imported as we already have the largest single POI database of this type and should in reality have almost everything - rest areas, dump points, lookouts, you name it, and the database grows daily with input from other app users and our admin constantly refining the content.
eg. we have all the huts/
ruins so no need for anyone to add the GetLost file etc.
