Welcome to Motorhomefacts, we are a thriving motorhome community (Largest in Europe). Why Not JOIN NOW and get instant access to more of the website. It costs nothing to join and only takes a few minutes. We have 200,000 different people visiting our site monthly and this amount of motorhomers in one place guarantees a fast response to any questions you may have. We also have unique facilities not found elsewhere such as our Online Logbook, stopover tracker, Motorhome directory with Ebay type feedback and the largest repository of motorhome campsites reviews found anywhere
In the last CC survey I responded that coordinates should be updated with those of the point that the site access begins from a main road. How difficult can that be to achieve? They could then REMOVE the "Do not use sat nav to find us"
More often than not I create or have obtained site POIs in a CSV format and load them into my sat nav so indirectly I am mostly using co-ords, so I have answered yes. If I do not have the POI I prefer to enter the co-ords above everything else although occasionally I will also follow printed campsite direcetions on the sat nav map and mark the destination.

Coordinates every time, they remind me of the first time I had a Fax machine then a PC on a construction site that I thought I did not need because I had always managed very well without them, then after 3 months wondered how I ever managed without them, the same with coordinates they make thinks so much easier.
Interesting that there are 811 views but only 59 votes. Of course it could mean that those who haven't voted aren't interested, but I do wonder whether some of them don't realise that you can vote without commenting.
I prefer to use coordinates but only after going on to google maps and zooming in on satellite and street view to find exactly where I want to be.
If the site is off the beaten track then I find the nearest accessible road and use the ''drop lat.long.marker'',input the coordinates into the satnav and away we go.
If on the continent without an internet connection then I rely on the Autoroutes pushpin poi coordinates which are generally very accurate.The only time it was slightly out was when we were trying to find a Decathlon store in Gap,the satnav took me to the other side of a large roundabout a couple of hundred yards away.
Eagle eyed mrs wakk soon spotted the DECATHLON sign in 10 foot high letters though.

Phil,
Always seems to be difficult to get members to vote on anything
My understanding is only subscribers can vote which limits it a bit
