Hi guys, is it just me that struggles when trying to find a caravan park that has easy access for my car and caravan or is it that everyone struggles in the same way. Is there any sat nav options that can help so I can plan my route better.

My sat nav directed me on the diversion route when the Roen Bridge / tunnel was shut in France a few year ago, I wouldn't have done it without it ! :huh:
Google Street View is a technology featured in Google Maps and Google Earth that provides panoramic views from positions along many streets in the world. It was launched in 2007 in several cities in the United States, and has since expanded to include cities and rural areas worldwide. Streets with Street View imagery available are shown as blue lines on Google Maps.Rordangamsey said:Hi what is street view pls .

You were fortunate that it identified an alternate route suitable for the caravan. You could have found yourself routed down narrow city streets full of parked cars. Even solo mine has wanted to take me along narrow Devon lanes as alternative options.
1) Go to www.google.co.uk/maps/Rordangamsey said:Hi what is street view pls .
True, but when you are looking at country lanes, which is maybe the main area of concern as you approach a caravan site, those lanes have probably not changed much in the last 100 years.otherclive said:I agree that Streetview is a great aid. However beware that it can be up to 7 years out of date on non trunk routes.
Search for your campsite on Google.Rordangamsey said:Hi what is street view pls .
