Does anyone know where I can find a TomTom compatible .ov2 file containing
the locations of disabled toilets in the uk - particularly those accessible
by means of a RADAR key?

Thanks.

Google has found this website for me:
http://www.gonmad.co.uk/satnav poi.php.
Does this provide you with the information you need?

I agree, but then most Supermarkets have Disabled bays.
Im an able bodied person and it *really* gets my goat when able bodied
people park in less abled peoples bays.

Perhaps you should start the trend and add some POIs to Darrens site as you
find them.

That site sugegsted by CJJE does include Disabled parking, albiet it doesnt
seem to have large numbers, not that many for the other categories for that

Many thanks for the link - I couldnt find *any* on Google!

Unfortunately, it only lists 22 locations, and there are apparently about
7,000 toilets in the UK which can be accessed using a RADAR key - so 22
dont get me very far!

Fair enough, I didnt check how detailed it was. But at least someone else
is collating the data and adding it to a POI list so hopefully if it can be
publicised then users will add their local knowledge to it.
