Hi Ednic,
I am sure that the file contains good info, but I don't recognise the extension ".rar". Could you advise which program can read the file.

Thanks,
Bushwanderer

I can't open it either.

I found this on Google,

RAR is another file format most commonly used on DOS/Windows machines. RAR files take multiple files and pack them into one file, making it easier for people to distribute games, applications, screensavers, photo libraries, etc. Later, the RAR file recipient unpacks the file into its original contents. In this way it RAR files are much like ZIP files (http://malektips.com/file_extensions_0006.html).

Hi Barryj,
Well spotted.

Now, if it was a .zip file, that would be easy.

WinRAR opens RAR files.

It's shareware but should allow you to open 1 file (I think).

Yeah, but it looks like trial version type of programs. I have had enough of those things as they leave residue on the hard drive when uninstalled.

I'll wait till the .zip version is used on this thread unless someone else has a better suggestion

When you have the file unzipped, use the link below to convert to .gpx files or whatever format your nav software requires.

Thinking of getting a Tom Tom so how does it work with Camp 4 POI.

How do you select a campsite and navigate to the site?

I can see how the street navigation works because the maps are embedded in the device and the screen displays are part of the marketing pitch, turn left turn right etc.

I will need the free camping destinations, I already have the book, so I just need someone who has got a Tom Tom to tell me how it works with choosing something like a Camp 4 waypoint and how the instruction /advice is delivered.

Is it like a Lowrance boat GPS that shows the direction by a cursor pointing the way and computes the distance or an overlay on a map if you are also running OZIexplorer
