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

Came across this website Doggie Paddling the Triangle during a discussion about the differences between Watersnakes and Cottonmouths…
As described by the author:
Personal site of Tom Hemp, offering image galleries and GPS routes for kayaking in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill.
Even though I am not familiar with the Raleigh Durham area, looks like it has a lot of launch information for the area, and the guy kayaks with his dog, I wish my dog was relaxed enough to go with me.
