kevandali Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hi Everyone As i tend to waffle a bit, I have highlighted my two questions in orange. :-) We have bowed to kid pressure and booked into the Du Letty campsite for a few days near Benodet, south of Quimper. http://www.campingduletty.com/index.html I want to be able to use the sat nav to take me straight there from Houlgate and was not quite sure how I would enter the gps co-ordinates into the sat nav? [orange]Is it simply N475202 W0040527 which I have taken from the information below which is found on their website?[/orange] GPS data : latitude 47°52'02" north - Longitude : 004°05'27" west We are also booked into another site towards the end of the hols near Aberville on the Cote Picarde coast called Le Domaine du Chateau de Drancourt. http://www.chateau-drancourt.com/index.htm [orange]Do any of you sat nav users have the co-ordinates for this site at all?[/orange] As always any help much appreciated kevandali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Newell Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Just out of interest what are the correct co-ordinates? D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevandali Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 The Chateau de Drancourt is N50.18444 E1.62336 and the Le Letty campsite is N47.86654 W4.08468 I looked on http://mapper.acme.com/ and when you find the place you are looking for, it gives you the co-ordinates as well. Very similar to google map but with co-ordinates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Newell Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Thanks Kev, not of personal benefit to me as we don't do Europe but I'm sure there are some forum suers who might find this useful information. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Way2Go Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Glad you got it sorted Kev.Even when I have the co-ordinates I always tend to check them on something like Google maps. It's surprising the number of times the camp site is further up the road or you pass it on the way to the co-ordinates.The funniest was a CL shown as being on a Texeco forecourt. A quick look at Google maps (Hybrid) showed 3 caravans in an adjacent field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevandali Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 Never thought of using the hybrid maps, will now check in case I also end up in a garage forecourt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
