Over a 1000 added western public campgrounds
Yahoo Message Number: 118163
On the eve of departing on our winter's sojourn southward, I have posted an updated version of my Western US Public Campgrounds POI List.
http://wxtoad.com/index.asp?page=gps/gps3.htm>     It now contains 6,462 entries and when coupled with the Eastern and Central lists comprises over 12,200 campgrounds.  I believe this is the most comprehensive list available.

As always, corrections and additions are welcomed.
 Have a great winter and watch for NE-13 wandering the SE for the next 5 months.

Ted, you provide such a wonderful service for so many people. Your data has become our primary public campground locator tool.
Thank you:

Ed

Can someone direct me to the procedure for uploading a POI file to my Garmin GPS?  I have searched Garmin site but no info.  Tnx R '02MB

First you download the POI loader from the Garvin website.  The loader wants csv files so if the file is not .csv then load the file into Excel (or Open Office if you don't have Excel).  From Excel you can save the file as .csv.    CSV is comma seperated variables by the way...

Get the loader and more info at:

Oh!Oh!  I'm SO glad you asked!
 I put together step-by-step instructions for how to load POI's.  Even first-timers can do it!  Look at this cute little link we have all ready for you:

It can also be found under:

Try those easy steps and let me know if anything is missing.  You can do it!

This is amazing that you have done all this.  I was just looking at Ted's files thinking I could never load these. Now before I get started will this work with a Mac ?

"will this work with a Mac?"
 It should. You can get Garmin's free "POI Loader" Mac software here:
 http://www8.garmin.com/macosx/

If you need to convert the file format before uploading to your GPS with POI Loader, Apple's Numbers (part of iWork), or of course Microsoft Excel, will handle that chore.
 Pick up a copy of Garmin's free RoadTrip software while you're at it; it lets you edit and back up your GPS's contents on your Mac.
