POIfriend.com is a GPS tagging community based in Toronto, Canada, that aims to connect people based on interest and location.

“Most users agree that many standard POIs pre-loaded on your GPS device are either out-of-date, incorrect, missing, and not personally relevant,” the site says.

POIfriend.com was created to act as “An environment where the community builds content from ‘bottom-up’ to benefit everyone.”

POIfriend, which stands for point-of-interest, covers a broad range of interests including Arts & Entertainment, Attractions & Events, Business & Industry, Family & Friends, Food & Beverage, Health & Fitness, Real Estate, Shopping, Sports and more.

Companies like Ford and Denny’s use it to promote their businesses, by making it easy to pinpoint individual locations. Not surprisingly, the highest rated POI at the moment is Tim Hortons

POIfriend makes it easy for you to find, create, share and enable simple transfer of POI data for usage on your GPS-enabled navigation device. As implied in the name, it is like a 'friend' who will help you keep track of the places that are important to you and your friends, family and customers. (poifriend)
