GPS signals are very much more accurate now since the Cold war ended.
Using a extension aerial on my Garmin I can get an accuracy of 10 feet.
Besides hunting round for an obscure aire is half the fun

I guess the only grey area comes when you pass on the coordinates, since nobody would be likely to pass them in isolation, and with no other associated information.
If you simply said, "These are the coordinates to a collection of Aires" I can't see how you could be infringing copyright. If you included even the names of the Aires, then you might be in the wrong. I don't know, and I doubt if anyone else could be very specific without the benefit of a legal test case.
I wonder what the attitude would be if someone posts, "There's a cracking good Aire in the excellent Vicarious book . . . . page number . . . . coordinates . . . name of Aire."
That is undoubtedly "passing it on" but it is also giving them a lot of free advertising to a huge and dedicated audience. Could they . . . would they object to that?
Yes my TomTom has so far not missed a beat when finding a site.
It is well worth downloading the POI from T.T. library where there seem to be far more Aires than even V.Books include but of course they include none of the supporting information. The USB is catching up quickly too.

One of the things about the downloaded POIs is that it doesn't tell you what type of aire it is. Many of them are just service points, and not aires de stationnment.
We did find one was wrong last year.
The Coordinates were for another town with a similar name, but in a different area
Just done a re check and I was wrong about the details.
The Cords are correct but the position on the main map is wrong.
It is Auterive page 359 and number 22 on the map.
It's position on the map should be just below number 59 at Muret

Depends where you download them from Gerald.
I can't remember where I got mine from (might have been Archies ?) but I have two sets - one for proper Aires and another set for Aires de Stationnement.
They are in .csv format for Autoroute, and have been posted on here fairly recently if you want them.
