However our main source is from our own experience. To keep track, we have our tablet (most have GPS) mounted on a dashboard bracket and plugged in to a 12v supply.
On the tablet we have the free Memory-Map App. It has the OS UK road atlas map included (most of time that's all you need, but we also bought the OS Landranger). Once logged on to the GPS signal, a red marker centred on the map indicates your position on the map. Nice feature as you drive, because the red ring position mark stays centred, with the map moving to keep indicating your location. But now, for us, the main point of Memory-Map for motorhomers. When you discover a useful overnight stop, or water point etc, you simply tap on an icon to produce a 'mark' on your map at the GPS point. See the graphic...the mark is indicated by a small blue flag (but you can change the symbol/colour etc to suit). That mark indicates your find on the map for future reference. You can apply text to the mark EG "Nice stop with forest walks, but no phone coverage". You can vary the symbol of each mark to indicate different features...a different symbol for water point from an overnight stop etc.
You might think that all this can be achieved with Google maps, but can you rely on an internet connection?
Hope this helps.
