campercontact help :-)

Just downloaded it and activated the free trial period.
Before committing to pay, I am a bit stuck and cold do with a pointer...
I did a brief check on a couple of known places, but could not see anywhere that gave the actual coordinates or any sort of map reference ..
As far as I could see the only option was 'directions' . Fine if you want to go somewhere and have a nice BIG data allowance but no good if plotting a destination for the next day..

What am I missing ?

 

[Landy Andy]

I don’t have the full ap (wife does that bit) but website shows coordinates

Yes, but how about in the ap ?

 

[Landy Andy]

Yes in the “contact” bit in the details of the campsite

I believe the free trial only shows a certain amount of stops when you pay it unlocks all the locations.

Brilliant !! Many thanks for that''
We have used WomoStellplatz for a long time and it has never failed us, but as so many folk seem to be using 'CamperContact' I thought I would give it a try

The free trial gives you 7 days of use of the full app giving you a chance to try before you buy... You have to download the app and select start free trial

Coughed up the lolly for the full version and downloaded all the off line maps we are likely to use

I too have just purchased this app

My question is can you enter the coordinates into a sat nav as never tried this

Yes. That’s the best way to find it.

when looking at Coordinates how do you tell the difference between minutes and the metric version ?

We just let the phone take us there via the App. I'm not daft enough to go under a low bridge or through a weight limit so it's always been ok.

The decimal degrees format is a single number with a decimal point in it, as in the first line in the image above, and the degrees-minutes-seconds format is three numbers normally using the degree symbol, the minutes symbol and the seconds symbol, as in the second line in the image above.

Sometimes, the degrees and decimal minutes format is used, e.g.

N 47° 59.5’

Use the coordinate format that suits your satnav. If it’s a Garmin you can select which format you wish to use. I’m not sure about other makes.
Alternatively, download the poi files for the countries you will be visiting from the Campercontact website then upload them into your satnav. That way you can select your location in the app, then search for it in the satnav.
