Trying to find a CL

The user and all related content has been Deleted User

But having toured 20countries (with and without a caravan) I never needed an app for any of them - so why are some Club members so wound up about having an app? If you can’t make the app work just delete it and select your CL some other way.

Possibly because the CAMC have an App and they are used to using them. Most of the site ones I use have additional functionality, such as allowing you to save favourites and often function offline, updating data when they have a connection. This avoids the need for bulky directories just in case you can’t get an internet connection. Personally I like them, but they do have to work and not just be another way to access the web site

Oh I forgot there is a bit of functionality in the new App that is useful, it allows you to save your digital membership card in My Wallet for offline use. However, that’s about it, the App won’t even show that without an internet connection.

 Was it more reliable? Usually it went out of date pretty quickly needing replacement or supplements annually.

It is not just about carrying one book but several if you take into account all the guides and maps one ends up carrying. These daysI have access to all of these on my phone or tablet both on and off line. They can be kept upto date regularly, certainly more than once a year and they give more funcionality and can be searched easilly and rapidly. This is the 21st century after all.

The current App is dire and a waste of memory and needs a total rethink. If it wants to produce an App, at least make it workable or don't bother. I have taken it off my phone and won't be putting it back until a better one is produced

In the early 80’s we couldn’t make an emergency call from a map book, I can from where my mapping is held👍🏻.

With modern technology it all depends on the area  you are in  if it works,?  in the distant future it may be available. nation wide but unill then a book is far more reliable and as for emergencies? 

This morning my tablet I am using is buffering on all websites because of poor Internet in this area  (at home)and as for phone signals the only network that most find works in this area is Vodaphone all others it is only usable for voice calls for most people is from upstairs 

Our internet contract has a minimum speed, if they can’t meet that consistently they have to pay compensation. In our case it’s 50 MB download, we normally get 70 MB. If your not getting your contracted speeds you need to start harassing them. Sometimes the problem is just down to a poor connection, water in a joint in our case, where it went into the ground from the overhead post.

As to mobile, it might not be universal but it’s not far short with a couple of separate networks on your phones. O2 and EE in our case. We traveled all around France and the north of Scotland last year and the only place we couldn’t get a good signal on at least one was Clumber Park.😂 Recently I have noticed my phone showing 5G in more and more places, so that appears to be expanding fast.

Your phone will make an emergency contact JVB. We tested this once on a remote poor signal CL as our friends had to make an emergency call, it worked. 

But you're right there are still "dead" areas.

The best way to find CLs is the reinstated previous search.

Not in Clumber Park it won’t. The emergency facility just means your phone will work on any available network for 999 calls. If there are not any networks available it won’t make a call. Fortunately there are very few areas where at least one of the networks does not have coverage.

JV, Virgin media covers WGC, gives excellent speeds. You might want to consider looking at a new internet provider? You can get some great deals, some excellent coverage. At the moment I have a free 5G contract sim, and this is plenty for me for what I want to do when away. I use an IPhone SE, so can pick up excellent coverage most places, including in certain locations in Clumber Park (but not on the Club Site). It will simply lock onto whichever signal from whichever provider it will find, EE, Virgin, etc….. OH has a Lebara, and that does the same, only with a huge data allowance.
