Shell POI - they are doing something about it!
Discussion
I know there are a few Shell POI files floating around but the ones i have tried have all been dreadfully inaccurate or out of date, so i wrote to Shell.
Well just one day later they have replied, saying that they are workingon a Shell POI which they hope to release by the end of the year, but in the meantime they've sent me an excel spreadsheet with all the UK Shell forecourts, sorted by county! Not a bad start is it?
When i receive notification of the official Shell POI i will post it here.

Great minds must think alike.
I also contacted Shell a couple of weeks ago for the same list and was given the excel spreadsheet of postcodes.
I've gone through the list and corrected all the incorrect postcodes and the ones with the letter O instead of zero in them, and then run them through a little macro I have which has converted them to a 'kmz' file which shows them as placemarks in Google Earth, and then to an 'OV2' for use in a TomTom as POIs.
There's still 1 or maybe 2 on the list that come up as an unrecognised postcode, but without the co-ords it'll do for now.
If anyone wants the files then drop me a PM with your email and I'll send them on.
