At poi-factory.com I found a couple of POIs for tollbooths in NH. I'd
like to add POIs for tolls in the rest of New England and New York.
Since I can't find any others, I'd like to build my own.
I know I can browse the map on my Garmin c330, save the location to my
favorites, download to my desktop with g7towin and create a custom POI
file to upload back, but browsing the map on the GPS like that is not
the easiest thing to do, when you only know the approximate location.
So what I +want+ to do is locate the tolls via something like Google
Maps, Mapquest, Yahoo Maps, etc, and extract the lat/long coordinates
that way. But I have not (yet) found a way to get the coordinates from
map browsing. Does anyone know how I can do that?

I'm quite sure that Google Earth displays the coordinates somewhere on
the screen.
Another way would be to create the waypoints in Google Earth, save
them as KML and use GPS Babel to convert them to a POI format.

That'll work, I'll check it out.

I think it would just be easier to copy the lat/long myself.
