    Doug,

    Thanks!

    I have not been able to find any ONE source for CG's but MS Live Maps is a quick and easy way to find something quickly. It is all in how they have their database. I'll also google search an area, such as "Campground in San Antonio tx" without the quotes and get quite a few hits. Other locaitons will also give results. I just like the feature of moving the map and having the CG's pop up.

    Yep! Dairy Queen, Burger King, McDonalds, etc. as long as they are in the MS data base.

    The best source I have found for CampGrounds, Walmart locations, COE campgrounds, Escapees, etc camping is here

    http://www.discoveryowners.com/cginfolinks.htm

    All of their information is in the form of map overlay files for the following programs:

    1. Delorme Draw Files – can only be used by Delorme Street Atlas

    2. MS Streets Files – can only be used by MS Streets and Trips (Note 1)

    3. CoPilot Files – Text files for import to CoPilot (Note 1)

    4. Text Files – for use with GPSBabel to convert to other formats

    5. Google Earth – for use with Google Earth

    This is probably more information than you will ever want on campground locations.

    I travel with a laptop hooked to a GPS antenna and I use the DeLorme TOPO 7 software. This combination has so many options and displays a full screen map of your route.I can load all the DeLorme overlays and switch them on and off as needed. - A 17" map is a lot easier to read than a 4" one- I had a Garman and found DeLorme to be a much better solution for travel in the RV.

    Hi All,

    I'm Chet, my spouse is Laurie and we travel in a '91 Beaver Marquis which we have had for 14 years. The old beast runs so good that we just can't bare to part with it. It's been in 49 states and all the provinces of Canada, but one. We live near the Delaware Water Gap in the Pocono Mts of eastern PA.

    I'm a retired mechanical engineer/manufacturer's rep. My principal retirement activities are photography, woodworking and travel in the motorhome. We do enjoy exploring back roads in our Dekota 4x4.

    If you ever see us on the road honk and say Hi. There's a large US flag and a USMC emblem on the back of our coach.

    Semper Fi
