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

Bill This is true, but I got the impression that he wanted to download the waypoints to some mapping software. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com
