Note that this is for Club members only

In addition I have been informed that the Club is working on GPS files for major sat nav units and will be available for download " In the near future "

I use the POI downloaded from MHF on my TomTom. It's got club sites and CLs, and is pretty accurate. I found one big error with a CL, but that was obviously because the information was taken from the CC web site as the information on there was wrong!

They do tell you to ignore sat nav directions and use the ones they publish when you're close to the site, but I never do Laughing.

Pity they don't make it as a .csv file Sad , then it would be very flexible for conversion to most formats.

is a great converter and I have used it make Memory map, TomTom and Autoroute files. Club site files are not that difficult to keep up to date once you have one because they don't change a lot. On the other hand CLs and CSs are a real pain to keep track of changes. Now if the clubs made those for downloads that would be much more useful.

If you have anything other than a campervan I would not ignore their advice about following their directions for the last few miles.

p.s. 0807... a little later. Ooops just checked my email and by coincidence I was asking the Caravan Club about this and they have informed me they do make CL information available

I will have to download it and see what it looks like. It will certainly make updating information much easier if its usable.

Its in pdf format Sad Anyone know an easy way to get this into xls or csv? It would still be tedious if you copied and pasted it. I keep my POI source files in .csv format. These are then my masters which I can modify and update for conversion to my other applications.

peedee
ps a google reveals a number of sources of conversion software, can anyone recommend one?

They are a good base to start from but they are not up to date and I have found lots missing from the C&CC ones. I would much prefer to go to the horses mouth. Does the C&CC list GPS info on their web site like the CC?

Hi Pedee
Don't use the C&CC sites only the Cl's with the CC. They were updated in 2007 I think and they appear to be pretty accurate.

CC sites is pretty good but the CL one is way out of date. I also have a suspicion that John Harris was getting a bit bored with providing them?????
