Folks!  If you have a GPS and you're a serious Elvis fan you have to check out and register to POIFriend.com....it's truly an amazing site and there is a POI (point of interest) group already created called "Elvis Presley - Tupelo to Memphis Fan Tour". The group is far from complete but would already make an awesome trip companion if any of you are planning to head to Tupelo/Memphis in the near future. I've added the description from the site below...take a look,...if you want to create your own or help build this Elvis POI group it only takes seconds to register. Please post your thoughts...and if you have unique locations you want to see added just post in the Elvis Find Forum (or on POIFriend.com if you register) and I can add them myself. Enjoy !!!

Site Description (
www.poifriend.com)
"If you're an Elvis fan and planning to travel to Tupelo and/or Memphis this POI group will ensure your trip is complete. Step into Elvis' world. Walk in his footsteps and transport yourself back to a time when America was wide open, when anything was possible. Visit his childhood haunts, original homes and the locations that were truly unique to Elvis, spanning the years from his birth to untimely death. For the serious Elvis fan this tour will raise the hair on the back of your neck. You will feel him breathe as you turn back the clock and immerse yourself into the very fabric of the places that helped shape Elvis before he conquered the Western world. THIS GROUP IS STILL WORK IN PROGRESS."

Thx Wouter...your praise means a lot !!  Being a "huge" Elvis fan myself I've used your site off and on for some time now and think it's one of the best Elvis resources around....no kidding!  I've actually been using ElvisFind to help build the Elvis "fan Tour" GPS POI group on www.poifriend.com.  I thought it might be a good idea to post a bit of info about the Elvis POI group on your forum to see if I could spark any interest with likeminded fans and on the off chance that I could provide others the opportunity to help me build a truly exciting/accurate Elvis GPS tour for everyone !! 
 
I'm lucky enough to have travelled to both Tupelo and Memphis but that was 1999 and I while I tried my best to see all the "critical" Elvis landmarks with a lapfull of maps...I ultimately missed a lot of stuff.  Having a GPS to guide a fan every step of the way seems much more enjoyable...and accurate :)  I can't wait to go back and try it now !
 
Anyway...cheers !!  Thx for all your work on this site.  if you think the Elvis POI idea is a good one to share with other fans please pass it along.
