:( First, sorry for my poor school-english ! :(

Because, I will spend my holidays in UK with my motorcaravan and iQUE3600, I would like to create waypoints from all
.) Caravan Club Sites
.) National Trust Places to visit
.) etc.

In the handbooks there are the ?"Postcodes"? like
Wood Farm.............DT6 6BT (Campsite)
Coleton Fishacre.....TQ6 0EQ (Nat.Trust)

How can I convert these "Postcode"-datas in x-and y-coordinates for the input in my laptop/iQue ? :confused:

many thanks

The list of waypoints is here:-

MapSource can be used with 'FIND' for addresses with postcodes

See forum thread 'UK cameras' for converting the downloaded file [ov2] to .mps and importing to iQue.

Hi Tom,

If you only want to do a couple, you could try what I suggested to selidori at http://www.pdastreet.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56387

That is to use www.multimap.com to convert the co-ordinates for you.

It will accept a Post Code and give you Latitude and Longitude in return.

I hope this helps.

Regards
Nigel
