POI Mistake Finder too
 

The script that I use to generate the XML for my POI Finder mod also logs when it has issues parsing certain POI's from the original Map files. Typos in the descriptions I can't do much about, but I did keep it fairly picky about the format of pathfindlocation coordinates. So it reported a few that someone should go and investigate to get correct values for. Here are the 7 issues it found from the latest map files: (I'll color the likely mistakes in red)

As long as you have the ID of the POI you can easy submit the corrections.

:)

BTW new POI's shouldn't have invalid charaters in /loc's as the webpage makes sure its valid. Looks like this are all ones submitted before the new webpage.

I had some time and fixed them. :)

Great! I just grabbed the latest updates and re-ran the script. My error log file came up empty this time :)
