Campercontact (1 Viewer)

[Fellraven]

I noticed Campercontact mentioned in a lot of threads. So I downloaded it and bought the full version.
Tonight I noticed that Funster Robert Clark posted that he was at Campercontact 47353.
I typed this number into the search on the app but it couldn't find anything.
Any advice much appreciated.

Don't forget to tick 'Name/Sitecode' when searching using a site reference

 

[Fellraven]

Thank you, done it.

I am just setting up Campercontact on my iPad. Was reading the website about adding POI's and came across the following:

On TomTom-devices, which use MyDrive for importing POI-files, it is no longer possible to upload an confine.

Below the files was :

Attention! You also need to download the Iconfile and place it into the same folder in which the navigation file is located. This icon displays the motorhome stops on your navigation system.

We use a TomTom Sat Nav & I was going to use this in conjunction with the app. Does the above mean I cannot download the files to my TomTomor is there another way of doing it.
Thanks

Well after a bit or sorting & following instructions! I have managed to download Campercontact full version to my iPad & download some of the maps AND download them as POI's on my TomTom Camper Sat Nav. Moral of story, don't believe all you read. Feeling very chuffed at the minute as its all a steep learning curve.

Annual if you want constant updates. Database is available for you to use in perpetuity but we only be 100% accurate for the first 12 months.

I think it's worth updating membership annually as so many sites are added/removed, plus I always like to read the latest reviews

 

[Decker]

I have just downloaded campercontact for the first time.
I am not the most skilled person with tech.
It does seem a bit of a waste of time on the free version so do you recommend the pay version being essential?

Also can I change the screen to landscape or is is only on portrait?
Thanks in advance for advice.

 

[DBK]

Portrait only I'm afraid and you need the paid version as the free one doesn't have all the data.

Just about to get the paid version and wondering how you managed to download it to TomTom, do tend to leave that side to John as it keeps him out of mischief would be great to be able to say 'I know how to do it'

 

[nicholsong]

I appreciate the advantage of having the paid version App as it can be used off-line.

We currently use CamperContact on-line.

My question is this - of course the info in the App is only current at the time of download. If one periodically goes on-line does the system recognise that one is a paid-up member and install updates of sites and comments on one's App? If so, how long does one have to give the system for updates and does it announce when it is complete?

Thanks in advance for definitive answers.

You can update weekly if you want to.
For £5 a year I personally think it’s a great app!

You have to go one their website where the POI files will be found. Just download the TT version.

I much prefer search for sites, find campercontact very basic and hard to use.

 

[Glandwr]

Although I use different sources. Park4night, Campingcarinfos, and Bordatlas my first call is always CamperContact. Where ever I have been there is a dutchman! For such a small country they get everywhere. Go to the most remote camper parking and you will find " NL". The others might just be better in particular countries and regions, but if I had to chose just one it would be CamperContact

Does it take you to the site as a SatNav?

Camper Contact is good, but I prefer park4night, I’ve found it more up to date. The latest review page contains loads more everyday, and most reviews are in French which I can understand, you have to use the translate feature on CC unless you speak Dutch.

[Riverbankannie]

Both CC and Park4Night give directions opening up the mapping app you have on your device. They both of course, give gps coordinates so you can use your own satnav if you prefer.

Well, yes, but not using Copliot or TomTom or Garmin, you need google map, Waze, Navigon, Sygic or Mapsime. I just write down the co ordinates and whack them into Copilot manually.

assuming both apps are on the same device you should be able to copy and paste rather than writing down the co ords

I'm confused? Hard to use?
I switch my TomTom to POI and Camper Contact and it takes me to the nearest site or Aire. To the door - job done.
No maps, No French or Dutch translation necessary.
Where am I going wrong?
