    After turning on POI (points of interest) and zooming a map, I find some electric vehicle charging stations. But compared to Zap Map or Plug Share, a lot are missing.

    Could MRA be updated to import charging station data from external databases? In the UK and Western Europe Zap Map is most accurate. In most places Plug Share is reasonably accurate.

    I want to be able to plan routes including charging stops for my Energica Experia.

      @Peter-Schiefer Sorry Peter, but you have to reply to everything with a slightly negative comment. I've noticed that for a few days now.

      It would make sense for questioners to get a sensible answer. If I can't help or don't know the answer, then I won't write.

      In this case it is about charging stations, if these are not available in the map data, this is not a matter for MRA but for the map supplier.
      If this data is not satisfactorily available, it may be possible to add it using external POI data.

        @Peter-Schiefer The Energica Experia is an Italian electric motorbike, not a car. So why write what you did?

        I don't like riding in 40 deg. C heatwaves, storms or heavy rain. Every litre of petrol burned makes extreme weather more common. #stopburningoil. So I ride an top of the range electric tourer from Moderna in Italy.

        I go on tours with bikers who still burn petrol. So we need to plan our routes to include POIs of both petrol stations and electric charging stations. We need accurate data on both.

          @Jörgen Where do the POI names and co-ordinates come from? Are they from Here, Google Maps, or in a separate database layer assembled by MRA? Is there a way to import complete layers like in QGIS, rather than manually adding them single point by point?

            @David-Newman there are many websites with all kinds of POI collections, you have to search for them on the internet. Here is an example:

              @David-Newman you can add these collections to your route planner:

                @Jörgen That's very useful. I will search for ones in the UK.

                I have discovered that both Zap-Map and PlugShare have APIs that can be licenced to supply data to other companies. If MRA set about licencing such datasets (and not just for charging), the POI data would be always up to date.
