So,
've almost finished. Even some of the data changed and some campsites added. In addition, I have made a significant change. So it is easier to handle, I have separated the big file into small country-files. It should therefore no longer the whole Camping World file loaded. Which makes dealing with the plethora of data much easier, both in Google Earth as well as in the map-programs. Regardless two general files are in the ZIP-file included too. Once again the link to download all files: Camping-Welt.zip, Google-Earth-KML + GPX - ZIP, 1809 KB ------------------------>http://www.desert-info.ch/download/pdf/Icons/ZIP.jpg Once all countries: Egypt - Albania - Algeria - Angola - Ethiopia - Belgium - Botswana - Bulgaria - Burkina Faso - China - Denmark - Germany - Estonia - Finland - France - Gabon - Gambia - Greece - Great Britain - Holland - India - Iran - Ireland - Italy - Jordan - Kuwait - Congo - Laos - Latvia - Libya - Lithuania - Luxembourg - Malawi - Morocco - Mauritania - Montenegro - Mozambique - Namibia - Nepal - Niger - Norway - Oman - Austria - Pakistan - Poland - Portugal - Romania - Russia - Zambia - Saudi Arabia - Sweden - Switzerland - Senegal - Serbia - Singapore - Slovakia - Slovakia - Spain - South Africa - Sudan - Syria - Tanzania - Tchad - Thailand - Tibet - Togo - Czech Republic - Tunisia - Turkey - Uganda - Turkey - Ukraine - United Arab Emirates - Belarus - Yemen - Central African Republic - Zimbabwe Now's to you to sent me data from non-integrated campsites worldwide. Have fun Ulrich |
Brilliant
Hey Ulrich,
I don't want to pollute this thread too much, but I have got to say this is fantastic, and thank you a million times for spending the time to do this. I think this could potentially be the basis of a bigger thing. Well done Cheers Ollie |

thanks
I'm planning Africa over-land trip and want to use your files in my GPS.
I haven't bogth one yet, but planning to. What is the best solution if I want to have this data together with Africa maps and the ability to navigate not always by roads... Thanks |
Big Thanks
Ulrich
Sorry for 'polluting' this thread - I just want to say what an awesome job. Thanks for putting it all together, top stuff!!:thumbup1::thumbup1::thumbup1: |
Just starting to play around with google Earth and planning a trip to Morocco next week. This is fantastic. Thanks :thumbup1:
|
I also have to say THANK YOU for this. It is an excellent resource.. You did a great job this combined with your off line program is just amazing.
Okay but i have a confession to make.I dont actually know how to use it. I know the data is there I just dont know how to get it off the google program and into a formate that i can use like a file for my GPS (garmin) or even haw to extract the coordinates so i can look up on a map. (I dont have earth plus, only jsut downloaded earth today). Basically is there anyway that you can take the kml files and get them in to mapsource or Smelly bikers maps. I am so very sorry if this is a truely stupid question. I am a bit of a noob when it comes to GPS (maps I am good at but these things.. it is a long climb ahead of me). I have read the etnire google earth "how to use" thing and it has not helped. Is GPX the Garmin formate if so why can i see them any ideas Cheers EDIT: NEVER MIND_ I sorted it out.. for the ones like me who could not sort it out. It is a simple case of drag and drop the GPX file to the way points tab (window) of the Mapsource program!!! |
GPS Newbie Question
Hi All, I am a newbie to GPS/Sat Navs but I have a question. I downloaded Ulrich's POIs and dragged the .gpx file into the waypoints tab in mapsource and then transferred to my up up-to-date nuvi 250. All good at this point.
I checked for the new camping way points and yes they are there but certainly the couple around where I live are in the wrong places. A couple streets for one and one or two miles for another. Have I done something wrong or left out a step. Anybody else found these to be in the wrong spot ? I mean I could move them but I don't know if the campsites in France, spain or others are a little off ?. Plus I don't feel like move thousands of way points. Any advice ? Cheers |
Hello gixxer.rob,
if the places around Your home are wrong, try to found out if they are in Google Earth also on the wrong place. If "yes", sent me corrected coordinates, if "no", I don't know what You make wrong with Your Nüvi. Regards Ulrich |
Hi Ulrich, thanks again for this fantastic work. I have a little question.
I have downloaded and apply it to my google earth on Windows Vista operating computer. However, I'll take my 9" 4gb eee-pc when i am on the road. and it oparets ubuntu. it has also google earth in it. so, is there any way to apply this files to google earth run on linux(ubuntu)? |
Hi Ulrich,
The sites near my home are in the correct places on google earth so I am not sure what happened there ?? I take it you generate the gpx files from google earth ? I have tried a some other gpx files from another source (not even close to or as complete as yours) and they come show the correct locations so I am at a loss. I will just move them in map source and transfer to the GPS again. Thank you for the quick reply. :thumbup1: |
just to inform you that this magic camping coordinates also work in google earth installed on Linux (ubuntu)
|
This is just SO GREAT!
T H A N K S ! Danke, Ulrich! Silke |
I've spent several hours tracking down Polish camp sites the hard way. Wish I'd seen this thread earlier.
Many thanks for all the work! Tim |

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 (doh!) - 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.

Something goes allways!

Hi,
Since I have found this really useful. Thank You. :clap: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 |
Hello,
something new! New places and corrections in: Ägypten - Frankreich - Iran - Kenia - Spanien - Sudan - Portugal - Thailand New is Island!

So,
die meisten im Netz findbaren Campingplätze wie auch die vorhandenen Updates usw. sind vorhanden. Jetzt war Zeit und Muse die Daten zu pflegen, sprich doppelte Wegpunkte zu entfernen, falsch liegende Wegpunkte zu korrigieren, bei gleichlautenden Namen eine Nummerierung einzufügen, die nur mit dem "Schnorchel" erreichbaren Campingplätze wieder an Land zu ziehen usw.

New: National Parks in Afrika!
- 52 countries - 335 NPs http://www.desert-info.ch/download/p...e/NP-small.jpg Many of the travellers visit the NPs in Africa. I have sampled the places and prepared a new file - National Parks.zip. But take care, mostly it's only a waypoint in the middle of the area. For more information the following links: Wikipedia Englisch - List of national parks in Africa Africa Game Reserves UNESCO - World Heritage Africa More informations by Google. The Campgrounds are also reorganised, again corrected and updated! http://www.desert-info.ch/download/p...Welt-small.jpg The files for the NPs and Campgrounds are stored together in Camping-Welt.zip. Also new is the Garmin-Mapsource format GDB (sorry, not separated in single countries). Desert-Info.ch - Camping-Welt.zip, Google-Earth-KML + GPX + Garmin Mapsource GDB- ZIP, 6716 KB----->http://www.desert-info.ch/download/pdf/Icons/ZIP.jpg Unzip all and You will get two directories with the data inside.

Suggestion
As the camping wordwide single file is rather large, I've converted it ready to upload to your gps using POI Loader to be used as a custom POI tip: each time you upload to a gps enabled custom poi folder ALL your custom POI files (excel in .csv format WITH matching filename icon in .bmp format) MUST all be in the same folder as it erases any previous one salready loaded. The benefit of using custom POI's on your gps is that these do not take up 'normal' poi memory space. i.e if your unit can say have up t0 2000 poi's then you will retain the ability to use all of those for your own poi's and route poi's. AND have your custom poi's available- you can 'goto' them but once loaded into your gps you cannot move or edit them. POI Loader software is available free of charge from Garmin's website. I use a 278C and did a 'crash unit' by uploading larger and larger custom POI files- It jammed somewhere around 326 THOUSAND! so keeping max load to 300,000 custom pois' on this particular unit. Happy trails and thanks to ulrich for providing the original data |

Wild or not wild?
Wow! This is a great project and it should have it's own website, not be hidden here on a topic on HU!!!
I want to contribute to this list so during this year I will gather as much info from Romania as I can. I have a question: are these places for wild camping or there are real camp grounds there? (sorry If I missed the answer to this one) |

Hi Ulrich,
Fantastic effort. Just a small fly in the ointment: as I have pointed out some time ago, you have taken *all* my waypoints and converted them to campsites, including lakes, guesthouses and others. I invite you to download a new copy from my website. Perhaps you can even put my comments into the kml file, that would be great. Meanwhile, I'll try to post an example of what it could look like into this topic: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...327#post297790 |
Hello,
to the known categieries a new one: Mobil-Home-Places in Europa Why? OK, You become older, You like it more comfortable, Your wife says: Stop, now it's also me! Or what else. - Think, Biker could stay there too. Also new campgrounds, lodges, guesthoses, hotels etc. in the following countries: Indien - Indonesien - Laos - Malaysia - Pakistan - Thailand - Timor Leste Desert-Info.ch - Camping-NP-WH-Embassy.zip, Google-Earth-KML + GPX - ZIP, 7464 KB ---->http://www.desert-info.ch/download/pdf/Icons/ZIP.jpg Thanks for the new data from Peter (beddhist) U.E.H. |
What do you think of this: MapAList - Laos ? The data sits in a GoogleDocs spreadsheet and I will create a form so people can add to it. It's just an experiment at this stage.
