It can be confusing because of the vast range of ways that searches can be conducted .
Thanks Mike and Yes it is confusing (imo despite what Dave says ) in this particular Search.
The main heading I went for is "Search by Type". The sub-heading does indeed follow on, with a number of "ands" and "ors" and ends with "Select.............or Country to search by type"
But logic tells me ( and I reckon I'm fairly logical-usually) that by searching for campsites in France I'm not searching by "type" but by "location"....and "location" is higher up the screen and this only allows input of town/gps/postcode....but this too is under the general heading of "type"...Not location
May have been better if "Location" and "type" had been completely separated , or, as you imply a damned great "OR" put somewhere halfway down the page to make it clearer.
Sorry but don't intend to sound negative-as I said in a previous post I think it's a great product but but its "vagaries" do need some getting used to.
Thanks for your explanation-perhaps I'll stick to "Filter" in future
PS-Mike- Just tried using the "Filter" but although "Access to Internet" is oin the drop down list the system only allows me to put in one town and not eg "within 30 miles" (which "search by type" allows)
So if I wanted a site with Internet I'd have to put several different searches in for different towns???

Hi
Just first choose France and then choose a region ... don't specify a town.

I use to use our campsite base loads, I loved it and recommended people using this site for planning their holidays.
Not any more however, I cannot stand that soddin orange circle that appears, no matter how slowly I try to click it always appears and I get so mad with it I just switch the whole thing off.
I have complained about this before but I don't want to miss an opportunity to ave another go, I am a woman after all

I just planned the next weeks itinary on the map in conjunction with a post on here.
I just dragged the map to the Rhine where we are heading next the increased the radius a bit to 40 miles, clicked and picked a few stellplatz. I then saved the ones I liked as PDF files for future reference in case I can't get on line when I need them
easy!

I'm on the iPad app version. I wanted to search for a nearby CS. I tried to limit the search to those but got everything on the map. Can't yet see what I am doing wrong but my wife using the C&CC book beat me to it.
Just spent 5 mins playing. Yes I now see, after clicking search using current location then checking CS you have to click 'Done' rather than the larger and more obvious map symbol nearby. Then you get a list then you have to click 'show map'.
Easy once you know how

Pm on way Mike
Thanks for the PM .... I hope you have it sorted now.
The search options have been made so comprehensive that until the user has had time to get used to them and the various combinations of them ...you will find that some will give the answer you want and some don't.
We all like to just start using an application like this just as soon as we get it ( the USB iCampsites) ...we click around and wonder why it does not do what we want. I know I do that and often I get stuck and blame the software ...when all it needed was for me to slow down and give it a bit of time and thought. Sometimes I even have to read the instructions ( Just an observation, certainly not a criticism of anyone asking questions in this thread ...the feedback is needed)
Mike
P.S. Just for others reading through this thread
In reply to Tells's PM I wrote back "Sorry I should have explained a bit clearer. What I meant was to try using "Search by Filter" then just choose the County "France" and the Region "Champagne-Ardenne" ...put a tick in the "Internet Access Available" box and then click "Show campsites". My USB dongle then shows three campsites . "
