Default Handy site for locating, contributing boat ramps / hazards

I found a site for locating ramps.
You can add the ones you use, to share with others...
Or maybe you don't want that.

Looks like it's just starting out.

Anyway, may come in handy?

Great idea but, at least for my area, the satellite picture is pretty
old. Not sure how old but it's obviously from before Katrina and
that's been over two years now. A LOT changed on the bottom and the
islands as well as the coastline that day.

Wait! My bad. I take it back.
Once you zoom in and look at detail, these pics ARE since Katrina. Not
sure why the difference between the overall view and the closeups but
the closeups are definitely after Katrina.
Sorry for the false alarm.

Type in Lake Lanier and you get a place on the SC/NC border!

I don't think the point is to be current.
All that matters is the coordinates and the entries the user's input.
It's more likely that a user community will have more up to date info
than google maps.

For instance after a storm a sandbar moves. No way you're gonna have
satellite imagery of that.
but the people boating there will know where it is.
