starvin marvin Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 For information. The free parking at the above, next to the Dinosaur building, Simply supermarket etc the Repsol filling stn has LPG, needs the newish Spanish adaptor. There is also a new McDonalds which currently only opens at 11.00am and has no WiFi, so not much use, coffee's crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKen1 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Why would you get coffee in McD when your in Spain. The best coffee is in the local bar and more now have free WIFI so why not give them a try and its cheaper than McD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about that parking at Teruel, near the dinosaur visitor centre, not the whole of flipping Spain!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Thanks Tony - don't suppose you have the lat & long please as convenient stops on the way down are always appreciated, so here's another! Zaragoza - Parques de Attracciones de Zaragoza N 41.61994 W 0.90122. Huge car park by local park and amusements, goes quiet at night, patrolled by Police who are friendly and quite happy for vans to park up overnight. Woodland and dog walks adjacent. Often several other vans there. For us, from France it means just one stop en route from the French/Spanish border aires to the Costas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave225 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Have a look for kilometer 75, it is nearer the south end of the A23. You spot a large steel basicule beside the road and the sign for Services. Drive into the service area and round the back where there is a huge parking area and a lot of trucks stop there, but it is not just a truck stop. There is also an excellent cafeteria where the food and coffee are great. Guardia Civil are always wandering about so safe enough. Although we have not overnighted there we have stopped regularly. We tend to use Camping Altomira as the girl in reception is lovely. Ok, that is my excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Sorry can't help with Mapsource or Garmin as we only use a TomTom which has the facility to accept Lat and Long in different formats. Is this sort of conversion chart thingy any help to get the format that best suits your needs? http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bickel/DDDMMSS-decimal.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit, Preferences, then "Position" tab, and select Lat/Lon as required. Don't change "Datum". :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
