I've put together a google map of various wildcamping spots in Greece. The information is taken from my travels and a few others on MHF and also from various travel blogs and websites from all over the internet.
There are absolutely no guarantees of accuracy.
Thanks to Captmike, Bess91 and hmh for their input.
Pete you have been busy - not sure I will get to Greece, can't say it is a place on my list - but I am sure it will be more than helpful to a lot of those members that like to travel that far.

This is brilliant. Dead easy to use and quick GPS points and an idea of what to expect. Can you now do the rest of Europe and then figure out a way of us saving it offline so we dont have to connect to the internet? Can it be incorporated into the new iPhone App?
This is what we need really. Look at a map, get an idea of a spot, GPS, off you go.
I guess you can google earth the GPS spot to have a looksee first (means getting online though)
Thanks

Edit: Sorry if Id bothered to look properly you can zoom straight into a satellite view! even better.
POI is great. What I found last summer with the lack of Internet access was that it would have been fantastic to have an offline resource that you could use on the laptop.
I found thousands of POI for EUrope for Aires and had the Aires book for France. Outside of France I relied totally on selecting a POI on the TomTOm and hoping for the best. some worked out, some didnt.
I guess it would be a mamouth task to put together an offline resource with all this info for all of europe but I bet it would be popular.
What I would like to see is similar thing to what you have created just for Aires and wildspots. Campsites are not required as they are easily found and booked by other means.
What I liked about what you have done however and why I god so excited about expanding it was its ease of use. Within seconds you can see the spots on the map and even get a view of the area. Brilliant. Trolling through database putting in requirements is no good (for me)
I suppose that the only downside to googlemaps is you need internet connection for it to work, hence the POI's, as I don't take a computer away with me. Its a very handy research tool though prior to the off.
There is a bit of a work around but still means taking your laptop with you but isn't reliant on the internet, you could always install Autoroute, download all the good poi databases like campingcar-infos for France, Bordatlas or Promobil for Germany and Turismo-Itinerante for Italy etc and convert them and import them into autoroute, .asc format I think.
I'm not sure you can do that with googlemaps direct though, you'd probably have to convert to a satnav POI first and then to autoroute format.
I'm more than happy with my tomtom while we are away.
Super idea peejay, here's a tt poi from it, just to save you a bit of typing.
.zip includes google earth .kml, Tomtom .ov2, Tomtom bitmap .bmp, .Garmin .csv
