I've always had problems with Archies going back many years - just can't get it to run on my Europe / North America default sat nav (a succession of iPhones). A pity really as it seems more comprehensive than what we used back in the summer (a combination of Pitchup, Alan Rodgers, Google and luck). They sent us on some serious wild goose chases or just didn't work when you needed them (at the side of the road).

The Archies Google Earth database has been loading on my laptop now for the best part of half an hour (I wanted to see if it listed the campsites we did find / use) and if it takes that long on a high spec office laptop it's going to be useless on a phone in the middle of nowhere. It ends up easier (and did) simply to find a patch of suitable ground where you're unlikely to be bothered until the morning and forego the pleasures of a commercial site. A pity really, and it may of course be me or my incompatible hardware, but my experience has not been that positive.

During all the long years I used Archies .csv file
 
I've never had a single issue with it on any of my garmins.
I did create my own tent icon as I did not like the green 'A'.
So Bob, I'm going to state the obvious...
Sit down...
It's you :laugh:
Sat Nav private tuition available:smartass:

It probably is me. No doubt it's so simple a two year old could do it. In which case I'll get my two year old granddaughter on it over Christmas. :rofl:

Hi Toyark. Any chance to have this file available once again? I was planning this summer's route and to my dismay found the news about Archies campings database - which was an amazing help for the last many-many years.
As an old-school GPS vs phone user, the POI database was a lifesaver many a times.
I tried to download the attached file but it seems not available (or I'm missing something here...).
Thanks a lot for your help.

Another chuffed person today
 
Done!

That was way faster than expected :D. I've managed to download, but asking for a password to unzip :(.
I'll ping you in private to avoid messing the thread even more.
Again, thanks a lot :).

Hello toyark,
i was also looking for the last archies file from juli 2022. But it's not there in your post any more.
Could you post the link once again ?
