Using GPS to mark where I cought fish....HOW?????
What i'd like to do is take my GPS unit with me when fishing and when I
catch a fish mark it on my GPS. Id then like to use a program that will pinpoint on a map where the fish was cought so I keep track of where on the lake the fish was cought. Is there a program to do this or something like im looking for??? Any help would be great. Thank you, Jay Aurora,CO

You can use the software and maps that come with a Garmin.. Save waypoints
ont he GPS then save them on the software setup. -- Public Fishing Forums Fishing Link Index www.YumaBassMan.com webmaster at YumaBsssMan dot com ":-:NeWcS:-:" wrote in message hlink.net...

If you can interface your gps to your computer, and it's a mapping type unit, you should be able to do that. Of course, I could be wrong... -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com

I either have, or have had, just about every software for both the Garmin or
the Lowrance, and I can tell you from personal experience, nothing can touch the Garmin software for details. JMHO. "Joe Z" wrote in message ... If you have not bought it don't.

I'm not a big fan of Magellan gps units. It seems to me that Magellan makes their units harder to work with than Garmin or Lowrance. As far as what lakes are on the software, I have no idea. Look at the Garmin units, from everything that I've heard and experienced, they are a much better unit and I know Fishing HotSpots maps are available to interface with the Garmins. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com

Let me tell you about Magellan. The customer service support is non
existent .They ignore all requests for help.The user has to have a degree in programming and interfacing to be able to operate it proficiently.It's over priced and the instruction manual sucks.About the only good thing about it is that it doesn't take up much room in my garage Ken "Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers" wrote in message ...

I had the complete opposite experience with Magellan. They returned my email promptly, encouraged me to call and gave me a number - straightened things out right on the phone, zip, zap, done. On the other hand, I had a problem with a Garmin Color Finder I purchased last year and their "customer service" rep was insufferably stupid and completely incompetant. When I finally got to a tech rep, he managed to solve the problem, but it was like pulling teeth. It was similar to talking to somebody who was completely disinterested in anything you were saying.
