I just received the latest (May 2006) Campingcar-infos CD for Aires de Services. I recommend this highly as it is updated every 2 months by Bruno, the www.campingcar-infos.com author.
Where it betters the Official Guide to Aires de Service book is that it is as up-to-date as can be, whereas the former has been compiled then published then distributed and so is at least 12 months out-of-date. And, as Peejay points out in his Mini Guide to Aries de Services, http://www.motorhomefacts.com/modules.php?name=Aires , it contains Aires de Stationnement (where you can park), aires sur camping, where you can use the emptying/filling facilities on a campsite and a section for recommendations for restaurants for the area where the aires are located etc. A good point too, is that it contains many comments by users about each aire as well as photos – you can add your comment and photos too, on line. It also has many aires across Europe and even Morocco!
The drawback with the CD is, of course, that you need to have your laptop with you. But then, the laptop can double up as a DVD player, CD player, TV, radio, free telephone (Skype) and office if you must work while on the road! And if you have internet access, you can look up even more recent additions. I believe you can also add the aires to your POIs on your satnavs, though I ain’t got that far with the trickyhnology.
You can order the CD online using Paypal and you’ll get it within a few days.
On the road again soon! Mike

Yes, been on the site and found more info including the photos & visitors' comments, so ordered the CD last week; hope it gets here by the end of this week - we're off on Saturday.

As far as i'm aware the cd is a mirror image of the website. If you look at this page from the site...

The ones listed with a green "gps" logo have verified co-ordinates.
The ones listed with a blue "gps" logo have non verified co-ordinates
Not 100% sure but afaik most, but not all have gps co-ords listed.
Just for further info - the little "flash" before the "gps" logo on each listing denotes theres a photo of the aire in the underlined link.
