Just use search for sites, centre the cross hairs on your chosen area and hey presto they all appear with reviews (if any left), GPS co-ordinates etc.

Totally agree but as I said above if you read these are now few and far between but obviously sods law says you will be in a black spot just at the time you need it most.  But if I were in one I would just drive up the road till I got a signal then use it.  

Many apps allow off line use so a signal is not really required anyway and of course pre-planning means 99% of the time yo know where you are going anyway or if not and you are looking for a site all the C&MC ones even CL's are listed on other apps such as Search for Sites etc. normally with up to date prices.

The App can be even quicker and you might find it interfaces neatly with you sat nav when you check for directions.

Only if you have a phone that can do all that, and quite a few of us do not.

We don't use ours a lot either and certainly don't take it with us. Same with National Trust book and English Heritage.

Even if there is no internet signal details of CAMC, NT and EH are all available offline via their Apps. They don't update with the latest information of course, but then neither would a book.😀

Harryb I have to agree with you, the website is not always the best when searching, especially for cl sites, especially using the map search. And that's assuming you can get online when away on a trip.

David, at least when prices were displayed we can get a general idea of price, as some sites eg. with fewer facilities are much cheaper, and many offer special prices. This really is not clear looking at the latest Handbook.

I don't understand why people have a problem with map search, open map,select sites/cl's or both and search, right click the site or Cl you want on the map, right click site name and open in new tab. You can open as many tabs (sites/cl.s) as you want to compare.
