GPS WARNING |
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous
situations could result in an accident or collision
resulting in death or serious injury.
When navigating,
carefully compare information displayed on the GPS to all
available navigation sources, including information from
visual sightings, and maps.
Use the GPS only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to
use the GPS for any purpose requiring precise measurement of
direction, distance, location, or topography. For safety,
always resolve any discrepancies or questions before
continuing navigation.
Use the
GPS only to facilitate, not to replace, the use of
authorized government charts. Official government charts and
notices to mariners contain all information needed to
navigate safely.
The United States government operates the Global Positioning
System (GPS), which is solely responsible for its accuracy
and maintenance. The government's system is subject to
changes, which could affect the accuracy and performance of
all GPS equipment. Any navigation device can be misused or
misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. |

Not all GPS map programs are created
equal.
All data contained on this site was edited using
EXPERTgps it will present itself best using EXPERTgps. A free 30day
trial is available at
http://www.expertgps.com/ . EXPERTgps currently supports
Garmin, Magellan, and Lowrance GPS units.
Other programs Mapsource, Topo etc will open the files
but in many cases you will get sequential numbered tracks vs track
names. I am currently reworking all data which will resolve this.
