How to Change the Location of an RV Park

As we've said before, RVParking.com is still a pup. While we have over 18,000 RV parks, we realize that not all of the map data is accurate and are working on fixing it. That's why we have a team of fact checkers who are currently working on correcting RV park data, as we've previously mentioned on this blog. But what you may not know is that you can fix map data yourself. Here's how you do it:

1.

Step 1: Click on the submit Changes link.

Once you are at an RVParking.com page, click on the link that says "Submit changes for this park." Once you click the link, you will see a page that will let you change park data.

2. Decide how you want to change the map: by changing the latitude and longitude or moving the pin on the map.

3. Change the map:

Latitude/Longitude Method

If you already know the latitude and longitude for the park:

1. Enter it into latitude and longitude boxes, as shown on the left. The map on the “Edit” page will update as soon as your cursor leaves the input field.

If You Don't Know the Latitude/Longitude: Google maps has a handy tool which will let you find the Lat/Long information from their maps, but you need to turn it on:

1. Click on the green maps icon at the top of maps.google.com.

2. Once you've done that, enable "LatLng Marker".

3. Right click to drop the marker and get the latitude and longitude. Copy and paste it into the edit screen on RVParking.com.

Map Marker Method

The second way to update a map is to edit the map on the edit page. The map on that page is interactive -- if you double-click on the map, it will move the marker to the point where you double click.

So there you have it, now you know how to change the map yourself. If you have any problems, please leave a comment below. Stay tuned for tomorrow's post about San Antonio by Betty Barnes.
