The AA sell software containing various maps of cities across the UK. I have the one covering the whole of Greater London on an SD card, which is used in conjunction with a PDA. It's excellent as you can enter in a search and it will find your target instantly, no longer any need to examine road maps.
Regarding points of interest, these are probably best recorded by yourself as they may be continually changing.
Regards,
Jeff
