Oops, something went wrong when you imported my Thailand waypoints. The first, Ao Nang beach is just that - . You can't really camp there. The last one, Umphang refugee camp is definitely not a place where you can pitch your tent. The soldiers will object.

It goes on.

Many new campgrounds worldwide.

Desert-Info.ch - Camping-Welt.zip, Google-Earth-KML + GPX - ZIP, 4690 KB ------------------------>

Now: more than 40 000 Campgrounds!

There is also a new folder USA-CA-noname with more than 1000 campgrounds in USA and canada, but they are nameless. - Thanks to Bert.

@beddhist: I have corrected. Thanks for the advice.

Regards

Ulrich

Ulrich, from the comments above, you have clearly put an enormous amount of work into this most useful source. (I can't myself comment for certain, not having GPS and not having worked out how to view the files (!) - maybe you could include an idiot's guide somewhere?) Anyway, to my point: People were happy to contribute with info on more locations, but I for one feel that if you can think of some way to make some money out of this, to partially compensate you for your time and trouble, you should do so.

Hi,

Since I have found this really useful. Thank You. I have decided I would feed back into it.

I have just been away for three weeks. Travelling thru France, Spain and Portugal.

Along the way I checked my waypoints against yours and updated / added accordingly. I found some new campsites and some with sightly wrong way points. Nothing major.

Attached is the file I saved them in. Just rename it to dot gpx.

I hope that this helps, and again, thanks for your hard work.

Dan

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
