CC Infos is my 'bible' for France (and many other countries). I also have the POI set from Bord Atlas but that is no-where near as comprehensive for France.
As Autoroute enthusiasts we rely quite heavily on pushpins for finding Aires (and municipals, campsites, supermarkets etc..)
But this query is about Aires only please.
Which do you think is the best source of reliable and comprehensive GPS co-ordinates for Aires in France?
The iCampingCars download seems pretty good, but does anyone know of a better one . . . maybe includes more Aires, more accurate co-ordinates etc.?
(Not bothered about descriptions - one glance when we get there is usually enough to decide!)
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dave
i have 2 sources of info (a) All the Aires from Vicarious Books which have the GPS co-ordinates and I can input individually in my TomTom XL. (b) Download from the TomTom website. So far with frequent visits to France using Aires all the time we have not needed to use any other info to find them.
We also favour campingcar-lnfos. Don't have any experience of installing poi's to Autoroute. They have a usb stick with full details including gps co-ordinates.

I have the Bordatlas pushpins loaded as well and they appear to be pretty accurate.
I downloaded them from a link provided an MHF member - one of our younger ones I think but I can't remember which. There were seven other types of aire identified (including non overnight parking ones and motorway aires).
Useful download - maybe the compiler could identify himself?
I have also heard campingcar.infos is best. In fact got as far as downloading to my laptop but not yet worked out how to put them on Tom Tom.

I've just had a play with the CC-Infos download, and it does look pretty inpressive. I've checked out a few entries with Google Street View (where possible) and the locations and descriptions are good.
I had been relying largely on Archie and iCampingCars, but I agree with my "advisers" that CC-Infos seems better.
