If you have a smartphone or tablet, here's how you can send in a new location easily.
The best option is to use our very own Wild Camping app for Apple or Android smartphones and tablets.

Alternatively there are apps available just for this purpose.
For Android, install the free app GPS Share. This allows you to send your current location via email.
For iPhone, install the free app Here I Am. This too allows you to send your current location via email.
For Windows phone, install the free app GPSInfo (v1.6).
If you're on the road and see a new wild camping location, all you need to do is stop briefly, if it's safe to do so, and use either of these apps to tell me about a new place.
The email address to use is poi@wildcamping.co.uk ...
IMPORTANT
You MUST have GPS enabled on your phone otherwise the location that's sent may be (literally) miles out!
Smartphones are able to deduce their position based on the phone network alone, but it can be very inaccurate
And finally ...
You don't need a mobile broadband connection to submit a POI location using any of these methods. An email created by an app will be stored in the Outbox until such time that a connection becomes available.
