Important - only add places that you personally know and have used yourself. Do not steal places that you don't know personally that have been taken from other lists or websites. This is what you will need to post a Wilding or Free parking location: 1. Coordinates (Essential) - Eastings and Northings For the UK the Eastings will be about 1 to minus 5 (longitude) and the Northings 51 to 58 (latitude) If they are not in this range you have done something wrong. You can get coordinates from Google Maps when you have found your location on Google Maps 2. A postcode (Optional) For sat navs 3. A description (Essential) Is it a lay-by, car park or other location. Height/length, restrictions. Access, how quiet, rural/urban, other information etc etc The more info the better. 4. Google Maps overhead (Essential) 5. Google Maps Streetview link (Optional) If a county is not available yet, post in the general county forum and a county will be created and it will be moved there. If you haven't got all the information above, find your location on maps.google.co.uk/and get it from there Here's an example of one I've done: freemotorhominguk.boards.net/thread/956/example-location-weston-woods-baldockNB The Main By County Wilding Location forums will not show up till you have done 250 posts and applied for the password. You will need a posting history that contributes to the board, not one liner LOL's and I agrees! This is to prevent casual visitors from overusing and abusing good locations. You may be upgraded to 250 posts well before physically doing 250 if you make good contributions to the forum.

I have never used Google maps - but will have a look. Are Tomtom Coordinates expressed as Long/Lat or Eastings/Northings? I suspect the former but again will check. I just need to get used to the standard for the WCL's and then I will get busy on a few!
