[gps-talkusers] Re: GPS on the boat

do it land marks you know first. It will be off a few feet but it will get you to with in the sound of a radio so you can get back to where you want to be. I use mine to mark fish and it works. You could do trees and things but every where you go will be different because of the Satellite. But it will be better than being there blind and alone.----- Original Message ----- From: "Koji Matsuda (Yahoo)" <kojim33jp@xxxxxxxxxxx>

It's amazing to think that we can do this.  I think I am going to try
practicing in woods or whide open space where there are no streets first.
Then lake, then then maybe ocean or desert. Awesome!

When you are on a trip like that set Poys of your own and you can make a
rout if you like or use them next time.  I like to set them so I can tell
when the driver is turned around.  Might not ever happen but it would be
nice if you need the coastguard.

Well 3 years ago when in Hawaii I used my gps ona boat which we

took so the

sighties in our group could see the marine life. While they were

doing that

I played with the GPS and mainly only got latitude and longitude

as we were

pretty far from land so I couldn't pick up any POI(s).

Did any of you try using Sendero GPS to navigate a rowing boat?

I heard

something about sailing in the ocean, but that sounds too scary

for me at

this time.  But if I set a POI at the shore of a lake, then I

can row my

boat anywhere on the lake and come back to that shore.  That

would be

awsome.  There are a lot of lakes in my area where you can rent

a boat.  I

just wonder if anyone has tried something like that.  Just hope

that

nothing
will happen to the GPS system while you are out there.
