Default PING--Gene Kearns...GPS signal in your area

That isn't very useful to the charter and head boat operators that
have accurately marked spots out of sight of land. You might find
your way home with the map and compass, but you'll play hell finding
those three holes 5 miles apart...... 30 miles off shore....



1. Transfer coordinates from GPS screen to chart.

2. Draw a rhumbline from current position to the coordinates

3. Taking current into account, follow course at known speed for amount of time
required to reach fishing hole.

At least this *used* to work, before GPS. :-)
