Very few, if any, campground directory cd's (worse still a printed directory) could be considered complete -what with additions, changes, etc. One with only phone numbers and addresses would be of limitied value. I would like to know space size, hook-ups, rates, season - that sort of stuff. Routing is secondary 'cause MapSource and other routing programs are better (more up-to-date) and at least MapSource gives me a direct interface to the Garmin GPS. I suppose some directories provide lat./lon. coordinates, but keying them into a routing program is just another time taking and error prone step; but better than nothing.
Jerry,
I'm also curious as to how you found out there were missing entries on the CD?
Also curious: the Trailer Life website advertises this:

Sounds good, but farther down the page you come across this:

Question: If the CD set has ALL the details from the printed directory, why would you need the printed directory? Also, the listings do not give GPS coord's. That would be a big help.
