Garmin Sucks in North Carolina.

Ok I am willing to shoulder some of the blame, because I am 2 versions behind, but not much of the blame…

Why do Garmin’s MetroGuide V5 Maps suck so bad in North Carolina, I was out kayaking today, and a couple of islands are missing, like swan island, as well a couple channels. Here is a google map link to where the arrow ont the GPS is pointing to.

When you and when you cross into North Carolina on the Northwest River it turns into a very fine line, instead of the wide river it is, as illustrated below and in this google map link.

I still love my GPS 60, but not real happy with missing islands and such

Launch Site Re-Write

I have really started in earnest working on the re-write of the launch site portion of kayakvb.com, and at a minimum I will be switching from Yahoo Maps to google maps. The other things that are on my short list of things to add are directions to and from a specific location, downloadable GPS waypoints.

I have been considering adding some sort of user feedback or comments capability for each launch, as I do not have the time to visit every location on a regular basis, and it would be a good way to keep others informed of the status or condition of launch sites.

If you have any requests, comments, or feedback, feel free to leave them here or email me at PAUL AT KAYAKVB.COM and don’t be shy.

As soon as I have a somewhat working preview, I’ll post a link here, somewhere here…
Thank You
