After some help in Techies Forum on formatting my Tom Tom , I have downloaded Camps 7 to it , now all I have to do is Navigate to the relevant campsite number and up comes the name of the camp , directions and time allocated. I'm impressed for $20 . Hopefully this will help the Navigator , she won't be so stressed (I wont be so stressed ) looking for that turn off. Just tested it close to us and it worked great. Would definitely recommend. Cheers

Just be a little careful GC as I use coordinates a lot and when up near Townsville a few moons back I ended up in the middle of a sugar cane farm.
I thought as I was driving along things were a bit odd (apart from me) so stopped, and thought about things and realised Navlady was following a farm road for some reason and my destination was just on the other side of some sugar cane. I got out looked around and noticed a opening between the cane so decided, 'what the' and slipped through there, bingo, there I was with destination in my sights.
I'm glad the farmer didn't catch me or I might be in your cup of tea now.
I gave Navlady a good talking too but I don't think she listened to me.
Edit......Nice pic in your AV, by the way.

Thanks Doug will keep that in mind. I know they do give wrong directions at times , my problem will be turning around , 30' rig towing a Suzuki . The other thing I have to be aware off is Height restrictions being 3.6 . So I am pretty switched on when moving. One day they might allow you to put all these things into it. Cheers

Having a GPS with Camps loaded in is great, Ive found, BUT my GPS has led me into some strange places and I've found that when heading off to a distant Campsite, I first navigate to a nearby town, then program it for the Campsite, to me it seems to be a more reliable method.
I might also add the I thoroughly impressed Yeoeleven with my GPS "skills"!

Happy New Year Anton, I wondered where you had been hiding, hope all is well. I also have the Camps 7 app on my Garmin GPS.
