Hello everyone
I have used gps while visiting the hebridian Island of
Iona (one of the western isle's of Scotland) about three
years ago, Iona is the island where Saint Columba landed
ad563 and brought Christianity Britain.
We spent a week on the island visiting Columba's Abbey
and took a boat trip round the island and I put poi's at
the various points that the boat man pointed out on our
cruise, another day we went by boat to Fingal's cave on
the Isle of Stafa, again I put poi's (from the boat) on
the sea opposite Mccinnan's and Fingal's cave's.
You'll find them if you load Scotland maps then search
for Fiophort which is a village on the Isle of Mull then
set your vertual to there don't worry about streets,
there's only 2, then do a poi search there's no city on
Iona, to find Fingal's cave you'll need to expand search
to about 7/8 mi, the point of me telling this is that
there is a lot of fun to be had with our gps's at sea as
Mike said there's lots of Light houses and navigation
points around the uk.

Anything below 100 feet altitude we just say "Near sea
level"
