If I remember correctly, then.......
CR - car park rural
CU - car park urban
LR - layby rural
LU - layby urban
OR - other rural location
OU - other urban location
PH - pub stopover
The prefixes are particularly useful on a satnav to help you choose a location
that is suitable for you.
The prefix is followed by the place name.
All descriptions have the county name appended.
If it's a pub stopover, the description includes the pub name after the location
name.
If a location is accessed from a dual carriageway, the description includes the
direction of travel for access.
Comments have been added where useful. These are only accessible in Google Earth
and AutoRoute.
For example, the comments contain information about:
• Places that charge
• Access restrictions
• Pub phone numbers
• Toilet facilities
(Hope that was quickly enough??
)

Readme.txt is a misguided file made by computer programmers trying to be helpful but misunderstanding the way most people actually use the software.
Most people just download the software and are not even aware of the directory they installed it in or the presence of readme.txt
The software or download process needs to hit them with instructions and important facts directly or by force.
