Alf Stonehouse Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 POIs for my e-book badly need updating its a pity could i update? About 3 years ago i went south with my 1963 VW camper meeting along the way others with their T1/T2 campers on the way to the beach to surf,we all had a wonderful time I was shown a site that had POIs for all European countries. www.womo-sp.org I bought a GPS but couldn't load the list?Id bought a gps from Lidl,worse the Lidl gps wouldn't show digital positions only classic degrees & minuets My long list of POIs couldn't be used with ease,i had to convert each POI i might want. To make it a simple as i could i loaded the list to my Sony e-reader where at any time i could look at the list choose the stops i might want using place names & post code With my new new camper its very usful,as i entered Dept 45 for example i knew which towns villages i wanted to look at & stay.From my Campingcar-aires 2011 book i knew which towns villages had aires but the book(books) dont give GPS positions My sony e-reader list dose! When arriving at a village such as Gignac or Alvignac(where i stayed) the aire is mostly easy to find,though not always Dampniat (45.16248 - 001.63750)is about 4kms from the center of town & no signs at all, hard tarmac makes it a good place to visit the under side of my motorhome when its dry The GPS position can often be found from one or other French site IF you have a connection The aires can be copied & filed (which ive done)but still needs the laptop to check. If the list on the womo site were upto date when i came hear to Cahors which is a large town with lots of traffic i could have used my e-reader to find the position no need at all to press the lap top into service How can i update the file??? Cahors is not listed!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
