Searchforsites

A very good resource, I have registered. I found some sites that I didn't know existed and added some sites that were not on there. I don't mind putting in a little effort myself as I am benefiting from the efforts of others.

It seems like you have to get involved to download the POI sets..No bad thing I guess as we all like to read reviews etc.....

quote:

"Sorry, you need more points to download the data
You currently have 12 points, to get access to the downloads you must first reach 300 points

Why do I Need Points?
The points system is designed to only make the downloads available to people who contribute to the content of searchforsites

A lot of work goes into creating this data and it is only fair that users who contribute get access to the data

How Do I Earn Points?
To earn points you must first be logged in and then

  • View a page for a site = 1 points
  • Add a review for a site = 100 points
  • Add a new image = 100 points
  • Add a new site = 200 points
  • Submit a succesful edit for a site = 50 points
So you could add just one review with two pictures and this would give you enough points to get access to over 23000 motorhome stopovers and touring locations"
 
I have been looking for a resource like this since the demise of the motorhomefacts USBCampsites program. If we all help to add/maintain the camp-site details then it will become even better!
I've only been playing with it for a couple of hours and I've already built up over 1500 'points'!
Bill

P.S. I KNOW I typed Motorhomefacts but when I saved the message the text was changed to 'The Dark Side' automatically - spooky! As you can see - It's just done it again!!
 
I've just registered, thanks for the link

Often used sfs as it is very easy and informative. Found recently that a britstop advertised on sfs wasn't in bs book so stayed anyway and got manager to sign for bs. Needs public to update so if you find anything wrong give them a shout. Nice guy had dealings ref up loading photos to site and he sorted very quickly. Highly recommended.

Do you actually need to register, it's seem to be working on my iphone
 
Thanks @chaser just registered. We always have issues trying to visit one of our sons with the van, there's a few choices of sites in nice nearby locations on here which will be very useful!

You don't have to, but you won't get access to all the features...adding a review or uploading a photo for example

Thanks for the link.

Yes it's going from strength to strength.
Downloads are great on maps.me.
 
I've just registered,why wouldn't you?, seems great thanks chaser
 
Quite a few on here get a bit mardy about where he gets his info, but so what, if it works, why not use it, we are currently in France and its working like a dream on this phone, nowhere have I found where it's all on one app, wild, campsites, aires, France passion, and directions to the gate.

Yes I agree.
We have britstops & C&CC + Campercontact but still use this as it gives a better overview

No problems with my Apple iPad, clicked on the email link, straight on, having fun with it now seems great. Would be willing to pay small subs, why shouldn't he make something, we pay a small amount to be on this amazing site. Every penny well spent, I might add
 
Searchforsites wins again, was going to the castelnaudary aire, machine wasent working, couldn't get in, had a look at searchforsites sites and look what it came up with
http://www.searchforsites.co.uk/marker.php?id=802
Not in anything else we have got, saved us 6 euros and a far better spot(y)(y)
 
How can I get SFS onto my iPhone?

Use safari on the iPhone, there's no app just uses the mobile browser

no reason.. provided he owns the intellectual rights to the data bases or has the owners permission to use .. ..

but he doesn't..

in his own words..

I had already written to France Passion asking for their view on this subject, citing examples of other sites including 'Motorhomefacts', 'Campingcar infos', 'All the Aires' that are already displaying the coordinates of France passion sites

To date I have had no response from France Passion (over 3 months)
