Your GPS probably came with millions of points of interest (POIs) but if you’re traveling out of state, a random listing doesn’t give you all that much information. Take it from CrunchGear’s Peter Ha—POIfriend is the place to be.

“It’s essentially a social network that allows users to create and share their own POIs within their group of friends or with the entire community. Sounds pretty dumb, huh? Well, if it were just a social network to collect and share POIs then, yes, it is dumb and not worth the time to sign up, but POIfriend.com is much more than that.

The real magic happens when you download any and all POIs you aggregate and then transfer those onto your TomTom, Mio, Navman, Magellan or Garmin GPS device. That’s the beauty of this free service. Think of it as a mashup of Yelp, Facebook, and tripadvisor. The community rates and comments on just about every destination imaginable, which includes restaurants, hotels, theaters, and anything else that would be considered a point of interest."
