Does anyone know of a good source of POIs for Spain please.

I know of www.pocketgpsworld.com and www.gpspassion.com. The former has a
very limited number and the latter I cannot find much coverage of Spain. I
am interested in hotels mainly from French border to, and including,
Barcelona area.

BTW I heard that GPS devices we set to become illegal in Spain, has this
happened and what is the rule.

Thanks

I know that my TomTom hotel POI set has a reasonable coverage of hotels in
it, it had my holiday hotel any ways.

I have not heard of GPS devices being illegal in spain, but perhaps its for
radar detection devices.

Or maybe the use of hand-held devices in cars, like phones.
