Hi GSWB and Philip,
GSWB, when you say 'an address' what do you mean by that? In the UK a postcode is all you need to get within 200 meters. What have the French got to match that? A paragraph?
I predict that in 4 to 5 years from now this stuff will be considered the dark ages. Just as everywhere has a site on the net today, in future the rest of Europe will automatically(the UK has already in postcodes) include a sat-nav position, but in what form i don't know.
The ferry company has a 'Frequently asked question' area but there is nowt (i'm from Yorkshire) on it about sat-navs. They must have their reasons?
They have a 'contact us' button too but you go in circles and end up at the number you first thought of.
Interestingly, the camp site does give its Latitude and Longitude figures in decimal degrees in their literature. Good, but not as simple as a postcode.
You blokes will understand when i say that my lovely wife bought me the TomTom for my birthday but i'm not sure who is actually getting the benefit. She enjoys motoring/holidaying now, having no other (map reading) duties.
