As mentioned the other day I have just installed phase one of
places map search. You can now have a look at the national spread of all 66,000+
places using the new map search features. As metioned it it phase one so any comments or updates that you think should be installed would be great.
As a run down I have created a map image of all of the types of
places (caravan parks, free camps etc) and if you enable map search mode you can then hit a single location of draw a box around a specific area and the system will show you the details for each of the selected
places. Now you must select a specific type of place to see the map search option and enable the map search mode. Sounds confusing anyway here are some links to help you out:
Firstly text mode search Designated Free Camps once in there you can hit the Switch to Map Mode - this will then show you the map - draw a box a presto results - try clicking on a single symbol and again you should be presented with the results.
Also we can create links to the map search mode directly such as this one to UHF Repeater Search.
Enjoy and please let me know what you think. I am starting to think about the download to mapping/gps facilities at the moment. More as it happens.

Ruth,
I even managed to add your park to the system today! It is now searchable. BTW you can edit the description and info in the
places lookup if you like and also add upto 9 images for the park. Enjoy.
