Default Campsites in Europe in Tomtom/KML/GPX format - and a free service to leave your live trail on an online map for your family

Weather's been good this year (depending on where you live of course). Many
people searched for POI's and waypoints of campsites. We collected many sets
in different formats. Let's take a look at www.poi66.com what it has.

Just click the link and scroll to the bottom to see a wealth of camper,
camping and other useful information. No spam, no hassle, no subscriptions,
no charges, just download!

We also offer a free service to create an online Google Map for you. You go
for a trip and want to make an online travelblog, but you don't want to do
HTML stuff. Just create an entry in our album blog list and go! Let's assume
you found a nice spot to park the car, tent, caravan, camper RV or backpack.
Sit down, relax, have a beer and type your daily SMS text message containing
your great GPS position. You may use a PDA with special software, use a
dedicated GPS2SMS device, but just typing is OK. Within 3 seconds we will
receive your message and put you on the map for ever. No extra charges, just
the SMS. And should the hotel, campsite or RV park have internet, just click
your blog and add your current position. Or be smarty and usa an online PDA
or smartphone.

Your family at home sees your trip from their home PC and you have a
wonderful automated travelblog! Send your trip or trip link as a nice Google
Earth KML file just by clicking one button. You get the KML file containing
all the pictures, cities and remarks you made. Fly the tour, revisiting your
popular places!

Yes it's all free, no other stuff, a hobby grown wild but still the number 1
in the world: POI66 is a leading website showing you how free services
should be. The massive amount of visitors show us we hit the right spot. No
other service did this.

Oh, before we forget: we've tons of other waypoints. In GPX, KML, Tomtom and
all other formats. Plug you GPS or navigation device into the PC, download
and store the points of interest.

www.POI66.com - making your trip an everlasting experience, come and join
the happy GPS travelers!

beside the fact that these lists of aires are an illegal
copy/recompilation of info protected by european copyright law
taken from

www.womo-sp.org

this is pretty old info too.

If you look at a few examples:
;poi66.com:

3.49660, 44.52063, "MENDE Faubourg Montbel"
-0.94050, 44.55383, "MESCHERS-SUR-GIRONDE a coté de la capitainerie du
port de plaisance"
-1.26832, 46.15876, "RIVEDOUX PLAGE Ave S.G.Perreau 10SP"
-1.54676, 46.22726, "ST.CLEMENT DES BALEINES A côté du CP municipal
capacité daccueil environ, 40SP"

: womo-sp.org :

3.49660, 44.52063, "48 MENDE P Faubourg Montbel 3.5t 8SP ![N/ve/-]"
-0.92391, 45.55573, "17 MESCHERS-SUR-GIRONDE SP @ capitainerie du port
de plaisance 12SP ![N/VE/S/7]"
-1.26832, 46.15876, "17 RIVEDOUX PLAGE Ave G.Perreau 10SP .[N/ve/S/t/-]"
-1.54676, 46.22726, "17590 ST.CLÉMENT DES BALEINES SP municipal 40SP
![N/Ve/S/-]"

it's obvious that poi66 is copied from old lists of womo-sp.org.

This kind of info has to be maintained and updated.
And it's mostly useless if no explanations about
abreveations are given.

So if you'd need solid lists of aires in Europe
for your motorhome take a closer look at

www.womo-sp.org

to get the well maintained original.
