ian81 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 There is now a free updated version of the icampingcars guide to French aires as both a pdf and poi's file from: http://www.i-campingcar.fr/accueil.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Thanks Ian, excellent link the PDF is very good with interactive department map & each entry has a photo, unfortunately the photos tend to be of the service point & not the parking area. There is also a link on each entry to the entry on the campingcar site which has more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Chodkowski Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Looks very good, can anyone tell me how to download the poi's onto a SD card for my Garmin Satnav, my knowledge of French is very limited but I can understand the pictures!

Retread24800 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 To load POI's into your Garmin:-1)From the Link shown above left click in the area with the 'Garmin' logo2) a new page opens, again left click on the 'Garmin 'Logo.3)you are now presented with a log in pagefill in your Nom....surname Prenom...Christian or first name E-mail AddressYou should then recieve an E-mail to that address containing a file caled Garmin.zip which you should save to a folder perhaps entitled POIs ( store it carefully because Zey weel zend eet oli wonce!) when you have saved the .zip file open it by left clicking on the banner and save the result in the same folder or another called say poisunzip which you can use with 'POIloader' which is essential and free from the Garmin website (in english)At least thats what works with my Neuvi 1340!!

Roger has told you how to do it but to help you with your French download & install Google Toolbar which comes with Google Translator it will translate web pages as you view them.

JamesFrance Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I have these pois installed on my Garmin Nuvi as well as the pdf. When passing Andorra recently I was surprised to find that there are many Aires on the Garmin which they don't have listed in the pdf. I suspect that the Garmin pois are the same ones as CampingCar-Infos, which I have not managed to install on the Garmin as they are the wrong format.

There are 17 different formats available for download including Gamin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Warning DON'T use the Autoroute download, it is not Pushpins they have created a route and each point is a via. It takes over ½ hour to load and grinds even a fast PC to a halt it is unusable. I used the csv file from the Garmin download that works fine.
