There were no locally created Irish Motorhome maps in 2011.
With all the members on Motorhomecraic and over 5 years, we put together the first Irish Motorhome maps.
Wee Jimmy from Ballymena knew where to park in a remote location in Cork.
Pat from Tipperary knew from Jimmy where to park in Ballymena.
Sam told Ken where to park in Portrush and Ken shared where to park in Galway.
This went on for 5 years and we collated the data into one map. We then created an App for the benefit of all Motorhomers visiting or touring Ireland.
When you see a new Facebook group since 2015 and they have a map with the same spots, remember who put it together and why those POIs are known by motorhomers. Through the hard work of the members and admin on Motorhomecraic over 5 years.
At NO time did we give the permission for those maps to be taken and used as their own. We did however let anyone use them. NOT to download and copy.
We say: by all means create your own map, but please do your own work, don't download it off the internet and use as your own, you are just committing plageurism. Also the reason you now get so many suggestions, is because we collated it to begin with.
Motorhomecraic has nothing to do with maps anymore, but we still don't allow ours to be downloaded and be claimed by someone else. The blatant copyright in our map proved that. We did, up until a few days ago, make our old map Available to anyone. Due to recent theft that map has now been deleted for good.
FYI
Motorhomecraic is now an official Club with all the necessary legal requirements it takes to become a club.
Motorhome parking Ireland now control the ONLY LEGAL copy of the original map.
We have never copied anyone, but we get copied often, illegally.
