The recording of, and accessing campsite information by, LOCATION information in this database has had a chequered past; enough to turn me off anyway. However, nuke's recent efforts at integrating Google maps has turned things around big time; the functionality and ease of use are great, better than any other campsite/ aire online or book source, IMHO.
The corollary is that the mass of information already submitted by many contributors needs its location information checking and updating in order to maximise the utility of this database with its improved functionality. Not to do so risks spoiling the ship for a halfpenny of tar.
3) Looking at each site entry in turn, if there is a pictorial "satnav" icon to the right of "Rating" on the top line after the site name, great! If not, then:
4) Click on "Modify this entry" icon at the bottom right of the site listing.
5) The previous "Recommended?" box has been changed to a clearer and more helpful "Visited by MHF member?", so check its entry is correct.
6) Ensure the correct "Campsite Type" entry has been selected. Change via the pull-down menu if required.
7) Correct and add anything else you are prepared to do at the moment. The ease of adding multiple photos is much better than I recall, for example.
8 ) Now, the most important part of all, go to the bottom and click on "Save and go to GPS Stage"
9) Pan and zoom the map to locate the site as precisely as you can. You can either click the arrow and +/- keys or click and drag the map itself for pan, and the slider control for zoom. The zoom is centred on the map, so it helps first to pan the location to the centre of the map. Use the Satellite or Hybrid buttons if it helps precision.
10) Click once on the map where the site is. A pin appears at that location.
11) Go to the top of the map and click on "Save Campsite Location".
12) Imagine rapturous applause from fellow MHF members, and suitably motivated, go back to 3) !
You have saved me a bundle of work _ I volunteered to tell others of 'incorrect' positioning - I see you moved your one from the Indian Ocean
The description above about how to go about it has greatly simplified what I was telling people who then asked 'how?'
Still wouldn't be in PeeJay's shoes 161 sites was it? He deserves a medal.

Thanks DAB - I've just started updating mine! Didn't realise I was no5 on the list - could take some time!

As far as I know, the only motorhoming Oxford United supporter in Bognor.
Just recommending one of the sites I entered and thought I would check a detail so went into map it wasn't there zoomed in just in case nada.
Went into the data base there it is complete with the new mini map went back to the map reloaded it and lo there it is could see it without even zooming. Back to the entry to amend opening dates and its not given me the edit symbol.
Then I notice that the edit symbol does appear but only at the summary stage not at the detailed one which is where I noticed the small error.

Also the picture shown on the summary page has gone missing from the detailed page

I had a similar problem with photo's on one I tried to modify last night. In the end I deleted all the photo's and started adding them again - and it seemed to cure it.

Same problem here, also if go further down the page of the detailed entry and click on 'Modify this campsite' I get a 'Campsite ID to Modify ?:' message with a box presumably for the entering of the ID.
Apart from the odd bug I do think the whole feature has been improved considerably over the last few days.
Edit
Of course the East/South/North/West Yorkshire problem remains to be fixed
