Just a reminder to all the members who have entries in the campsite database but haven't yet checked their accuracy and entered the map coordinates. We have a team working on updates, including our two new Campsite Admins but if they have to edit your entry they probably won't do it as accurately as you could. Also it takes them much longer because they don't have detailed information on the location like you do.
Whilst checking your sites could you please make sure that the site "Type" is correct and also that the name of the town is in the "Town" field. If the name of the town is anywhere else then the search facility won't find your entry.

Thanks everyone.
Couldn't this post be put on a seperate thread and made sticky until we finish all 1241 sites?

Anonymous has 21 Entries, has anyone checked these out?Ralph
Hi Ralph
Funnily enough, Anonymous was the first member that I updated so if a few locations of his (hers?) aren't quite spot on my excuse is that I needed some practice.
In case anyone is wondering who is this "Anonymous", it's a member whos data was lost when the server hard drive failed a couple of years ago. Much of the data was recovered eventually but some of it couldn't be attributed to the member who entered it so it had to remain "Anonymous", better that than lose it altogether. I wonder who it was that entered those sites? If it was you, let us know.
Lesson learned, is in future to make more detailed notes of the site in the diary as well as the activities undertaken.
Thank goodness for Google Earth as it enables recognition of the site, else I dont think that I would have completed some.
Travelling for 16 weeks + a year adds up to a lot of sites and Aires.
We do not use or have a Sat Nav unit so co-ordinates have thus far not formed part of the info felt to be important.
Anyway I can't wind up an electronic moron when I miss the road or direction despite being "informed" in "ample time" as we pass the point where we should have left the road we are on!!!!!!!

It allows you to use the Microsoft maps in addition to Google (which are better resolution in some places). It also has a very good search facility and when you've got your location centered on the map (double click it) the latitude and longtitude coordinates are listed at the bottom right of the map screen so you can enter these figures direct into the campsite input screen instead of having to find the site on the Google map.
I find sometimes the flashearth search facility plays up. The other day it couldn't find Nancy! Sometimes it will work with postcodes other times not. All i do is close it and reopen works for me.
(Hi Sherringham Lat Longs are not just for GPS, map users can use them as well.)

Attached what my browser tab bar looks like when I'm editing the database.
Click to enlarge.
From L to R
MHF Forums, the MHF campsite edit that I'm doing , MHF campsite database in case I need to check what the entry said before editing, web site of entry if available, Google Maps, Flashearth.
By the way tabs are one of the ways that browsers have recently improved this one is Safari but I believe also now on IE7
