Ulrich 19 Nov 2008 12:15

So,

've almost finished. Even some of the data changed and some campsites added.

In addition, I have made a significant change.

So it is easier to handle, I have separated the big file into small country-files.

It should therefore no longer the whole Camping World file loaded. Which makes dealing with the plethora of data much easier, both in Google Earth as well as in the map-programs.

Regardless two general files are in the ZIP-file included too.

Once again the link to download all files:

Camping-Welt.zip, Google-Earth-KML + GPX - ZIP, 1809 KB ------------------------>http://www.desert-info.ch/download/pdf/Icons/ZIP.jpg


Once all countries:

Now's to you to sent me data from non-integrated campsites worldwide.

Have fun

Just starting to play around with google Earth and planning a trip to Morocco next week. This is fantastic. Thanks :thumbup1:

Xander 9 Jan 2009 12:39

I also have to say THANK YOU for this. It is an excellent resource.. You did a great job this combined with your off line program is just amazing.

Okay but i have a confession to make.I dont actually know how to use it. I know the data is there I just dont know how to get it off the google program and into a formate that i can use like a file for my GPS (garmin) or even haw to extract the coordinates so i can look up on a map. (I dont have earth plus, only jsut downloaded earth today).

Basically is there anyway that you can take the kml files and get them in to mapsource or Smelly bikers maps. I am so very sorry if this is a truely stupid question. I am a bit of a noob when it comes to GPS (maps I am good at but these things.. it is a long climb ahead of me). I have read the etnire google earth "how to use" thing and it has not helped. Is GPX the Garmin formate if so why can i see them any ideas
Cheers

EDIT: NEVER MIND_ I sorted it out.. for the ones like me who could not sort it out. It is a simple case of drag and drop the GPX file to the way points tab (window) of the Mapsource program!!!



gixxer.rob 15 Jan 2009 07:08

GPS Newbie Question
 
Hi All, I am a newbie to GPS/Sat Navs but I have a question. I downloaded Ulrich's POIs and dragged the .gpx file into the waypoints tab in mapsource and then transferred to my up up-to-date nuvi 250. All good at this point.

I checked for the new camping way points and yes they are there but certainly the couple around where I live are in the wrong places. A couple streets for one and one or two miles for another. Have I done something wrong or left out a step. Anybody else found these to be in the wrong spot ? I mean I could move them but I don't know if the campsites in France, spain or others are a little off ?. Plus I don't feel like move thousands of way points.

Any advice ?

Cheers

Ulrich 15 Jan 2009 10:30

Hello gixxer.rob,

if the places around Your home are wrong, try to found out if they are in Google Earth also on the wrong place. If "yes", sent me corrected coordinates, if "no", I don't know what You make wrong with Your Nüvi.

Regards

Ulrich

ozhanu 15 Jan 2009 13:59

Hi Ulrich, thanks again for this fantastic work. I have a little question.

I have downloaded and apply it to my google earth on Windows Vista operating computer. However, I'll take my 9" 4gb eee-pc when i am on the road. and it oparets ubuntu. it has also google earth in it. so, is there any way to apply this files to google earth run on linux(ubuntu)?

gixxer.rob 15 Jan 2009 14:09

Hi Ulrich,

The sites near my home are in the correct places on google earth so I am not sure what happened there ?? I take it you generate the gpx files from google earth ?

I have tried a some other gpx files from another source (not even close to or as complete as yours) and they come show the correct locations so I am at a loss.

I will just move them in map source and transfer to the GPS again.

Thank you for the quick reply.

Ulrich, from the comments above, you have clearly put an enormous amount of work into this most useful source. (I can't myself comment for certain, not having GPS and not having worked out how to view the files (doh!) - maybe you could include an idiot's guide somewhere?) Anyway, to my point: People were happy to contribute with info on more locations, but I for one feel that if you can think of some way to make some money out of this, to partially compensate you for your time and trouble, you should do so.

Ulrich 6 Apr 2009 15:01

Many new campgrounds, mainly in Africa (14 countries) and the rest of the world.

Hi,

Since I have found this really useful. Thank You. :clap:I have decided I would feed back into it.

I have just been away for three weeks. Travelling thru France, Spain and Portugal.

Along the way I checked my waypoints against yours and updated / added accordingly. I found some new campsites and some with sightly wrong way points. Nothing major.

Attached is the file I saved them in. Just rename it to dot gpx.

I hope that this helps, and again, thanks for your hard work.

New: National Parks in Afrika!

- 52 countries
- 335 NPs


http://www.desert-info.ch/download/p...e/NP-small.jpg

Many of the travellers visit the NPs in Africa. I have sampled the places and prepared a new file - National Parks.zip. But take care, mostly it's only a waypoint in the middle of the area.

For more information the following links:

Wikipedia Englisch - List of national parks in Africa
Africa Game Reserves
UNESCO - World Heritage Africa

More informations by Google.

The Campgrounds are also reorganised, again corrected and updated!

The files for the NPs and Campgrounds are stored together in Camping-Welt.zip.

Also new is the Garmin-Mapsource format GDB (sorry, not separated in single countries).

Desert-Info.ch - Camping-Welt.zip, Google-Earth-KML + GPX + Garmin Mapsource GDB- ZIP, 6716 KB----->http://www.desert-info.ch/download/pdf/Icons/ZIP.jpg

Unzip all and You will get two directories with the data inside.

Best regards

Ulrich

Suggestion
As the camping wordwide single file is rather large, I've converted it ready to upload to your gps using POI Loader to be used as a custom POI

tip: each time you upload to a gps enabled custom poi folder
ALL your custom POI files (excel in .csv format WITH matching filename icon in .bmp format) MUST all be in the same folder as it erases any previous one salready loaded.

The benefit of using custom POI's on your gps is that these do not take up 'normal' poi memory space.

i.e if your unit can say have up t0 2000 poi's then you will retain the ability to use all of those for your own poi's and route poi's. AND have your custom poi's available- you can 'goto' them but once loaded into your gps you cannot move or edit them.

POI Loader software is available free of charge from Garmin's website.
I use a 278C and did a 'crash unit' by uploading larger and larger custom POI files- It jammed somewhere around 326 THOUSAND! so keeping max load to 300,000 custom pois' on this particular unit.

Happy trails and thanks to ulrich for providing the original data

Thanks, but when I try to install it with POI loader, I have "line 6 error", and I can´t install.

is working perfect in your computer?

Wild or not wild?
 
Wow! This is a great project and it should have it's own website, not be hidden here on a topic on HU!!!

I want to contribute to this list so during this year I will gather as much info from Romania as I can.

I have a question: are these places for wild camping or there are real camp grounds there? (sorry If I missed the answer to this one)

Ulrich 21 Feb 2010 22:08

There is something new!

U.S. National Parks - Wildlife-Parks-Asia - World-Heritage

Desert-Info.ch - Camping-NP-WH-Embassy.zip, Google-Earth-KML + GPX - ZIP, 6963 KB ------------------------>http://www.desert-info.ch/download/pdf/Icons/ZIP.jpg

The new files are there only as a Google Earth KML. This leaves, in contrast to GPX, which is visible in Google Earth filed additional information.

http://www.desert-info.ch/download/p...le/note-GE.jpg

If you want to convert the files anyway, for MapSource or whatever, I recommend

GPSBabel 1.3.7 Beta

the "Swiss Army knife" for format converters.

Further Informations:

World Wildlive Adventures Asia

UNESCO World Heritage Centre

Have fun with it.

beddhist 20 Jul 2010 23:02

Hi Ulrich,

Fantastic effort. Just a small fly in the ointment: as I have pointed out some time ago, you have taken *all* my waypoints and converted them to campsites, including lakes, guesthouses and others. I invite you to download a new copy from my website. Perhaps you can even put my comments into the kml file, that would be great.

Meanwhile, I'll try to post an example of what it could look like into this topic: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...327#post297790

Ulrich 26 Jul 2010 08:56

Hello,

to the known categieries a new one:

Mobil-Home-Places in Europa

Why? OK, You become older, You like it more comfortable, Your wife says: Stop, now it's also me! Or what else. - Think, Biker could stay there too.

Also new campgrounds, lodges, guesthoses, hotels etc. in the following countries:

Indien - Indonesien - Laos - Malaysia - Pakistan - Thailand - Timor Leste

Desert-Info.ch - Camping-NP-WH-Embassy.zip, Google-Earth-KML + GPX - ZIP, 7464 KB ---->http://www.desert-info.ch/download/pdf/Icons/ZIP.jpg

Thanks for the new data from Peter (beddhist)

U.E.H.

beddhist 26 Jul 2010 10:37

What do you think of this: MapAList - Laos ? The data sits in a GoogleDocs spreadsheet and I will create a form so people can add to it. It's just an experiment at this stage.

ozhanu 13 Mar 2011 22:19

reader for this file
 
Hi,
Is there also a readable tekst file with all the info?
My laptop broke down in Spain and Im now in Bamako, Mali heading to South Africa. Being able to get this info on my smartphone would be very helpful.

Anyone ideas or already a file at hand I can read with my smartphone?
