Hi Richard,

One important thing you forgot to include in needed information is, "The
combination to the vault!!" ;-)

Best regards,
Greg

> I'm wondering if anyone has or know where I can obtain a list of public

> I'd like to build a POI file for use in GPS units to make it easier to

> I was going to limit the list to those in the US, but I'll open it up to

> Basically I need the institution and the city and country, but the more
> information included the better. The best would have all the following.
>
> Name
> Address
> City
> County
> Long & Lat
> website url
> Important specimens on display
>
> I'm sure that's asking too much for a list that has already been made, but
> I might as well ask for everything I need here to save time.
>
> If no one has a list of collections, I'll ask for suggestions individually
> so they can be combined into the final files.
>
> I'll be building the file in Google Earth, so if it is easier for you,
> feel free to send me the information as GE placemarks, or you can email me
> the location using the Google Maps "Send" feature.
>
> When I've got a working version, I'll upload the resulting files as both a
> Google Earth KMZ file and as a GPX file that is readable by most GPS units
> so others can use it too.
