Finding Club Sites

It's not recommended that you use satnav for the final approach to sites, GG. It's always best to refer to the directions given by CC.

Actually you saying that I must admit the sat nav has taken us on some pretty horrendous routes to campsites in France. What I tend to do now though is look on Google earth to check the approaches to campsites but I would still like the sat and long settings to be available.

 ..Wouldn't it be easier to print them on the site, for instance looking at Trethevy,Tintagel,Cornwall,PL34 0BQ  it would be very helpful if sat/log was there as well.

Where are you looking? They are not with the address and postcode at the top of the    site page.   However, if you scroll to the bottom, they are below the postcode, which is immediately below the Google location map.

Are you using them on a Sat Nav? If you are you can download the POI's from the website.

I don't know as I never use them! You can download the Club Sites POI's from here to suit different makes of Sat Nav. My sat nav allows me to review the final part of the route to my destination which I can compare the written instructions. Like you I also use Google Earth to look at the situation of the site in question. Its also handy for seeing what is around about.

same process as David, but, if we are using 'navigate to point on map (the club site icon)' we are actually using clubs the lat/long coordinates, as that is how 'here' is determined.

i also do map routing checks against club directions.

i rarely use lat/long as, if been given directions, ill be going through them on a map, and the tomtom, and the destination will end up as something like.....'and its 100 yds on the left'..

when i have found this 'place' on the satmav map, this is where i will be navigating to....ie, 'place on map'...

in this way i will have a sussed out any anomalies in the route..rather than blindly navigating to an 'unknown'...

satnav is a great tool, used in addition to a map and common sense...
