I've created a shared Google Maps places list with saved points for the coordinates of all the BAA car parks (rivers and pools only). It is available here:http://bit.ly/3l6TLKA
Click the link then click ‘follow list’ in Google Maps (you need to be signed in). You will now have a list of the BAA car parks, ordered nearest first, under 'saved' in your Google Maps app.

I've also created a Google 'My Map' with the same points, and generated some files that can be loaded into various sat navs and mobile apps.

The map is here:
http://bit.ly/3ypKvt8

If you click the above link while you are signed into your Google account the map will be copied to your Google ‘My Maps' (https://www.google.com/maps/d/), under ‘NOT OWNED’. It should thereafter be visible in your Google Maps mobile app by tapping 'Saved' at the bottom of the screen, then scrolling down past the lists and tapping 'Maps' at the bottom.

The POI (point of interest) files are here, with BAA icon image files:
http://bit.ly/3wrZpN0

Right click each file you need and select download.

Here are links to instructions for sat nav POI installation:

Tomtom sat navs use the .ov2 file
http://uk.support.tomtom.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/19639/~/transf...

Older model Tomtoms (use the 'BAA Fisheries.bmp' icon file alongside the .ov2 file)
http://www.poieditor.com/articles/how_to_install_pois_on_tomtom/...

Garmin sat navs use the .gpx file (put the 'BAA Fisheries.bmp' file in the same folder as the .gpx file and the poi loader will pick it up)
http://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?faq=lfiKohFF2UAo3eaO9vHYp6...

Mio sat navs use the .csv file and the BAA Fisheries.bmp icon file
http://service.mio.com/M0100/F0110_DownLoad_Faq.aspx?faqid=129886&R...

Xgody (and other sat navs running IGO Primo) use the .kml file and BAA Fisheries.bmp
http://www.gpspower.net/igo-primo-discussions/347404-kml-poi-import...

If the icon looks the wrong size or overly pixelated on your sat nav use 'BAA Fisheries (medium).bmp' or 'BAA Fisheries (large).bmp' instead, but rename it to 'BAA Fisheries.bmp'.

Below are links to instructions for how to import the POI file into smartphone sat nav apps that are free with offline maps:

Maps.me/Organic Maps (.kml file):http://mapsme.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/207895029-How-to-import...
Magic Earth (.kml file):http://www.magicearth.com/support/import-points-interest/...
CoPilot Android (.ov2 file and .bmp icon):http://support.copilotgps.com/en/support/solutions/articles/1900004...
CoPilot iPhone (.ov2 file and .bmp icon):http://support.copilotgps.com/en/support/solutions/articles/1900004...

You can also open the .kmz file in Google Earth.

Re: Online/sat-nav map of car parks

If you let me know the model of your Garmin i’ll look up the procedure. I don’t think the postcode info is included in any of the files, so that must be a quirk of your sat nav.

Re: Online/sat-nav map of car parks

Sorry, I didn’t enable monitoring for this thread and I haven’t looked at this forum for a long time. I hadn’t put the names in quote marks, which seems to be a requirement in garmin csv files. It should show the names if you download the csv file again and send it to the sat nav.
