Re: Buoy Locations

Hi Paul and all, Paul had a problem in that the markers he was interested in spanned two charts. I have just made a change to cover that. There have been a number of changes so let me summarize the state of the programs: The aids to navigation <http://L-36.com/aids_to_navigation.php> page lists 6 of the US regions (I didn't do the Mississippi as no latitude or longitudes were given). You first select your region. The region page is broken up into areas by chart. Select the chart of interest. Check off the buoys you are interested in and click the submit buttion. That takes you to the waveform and route bulk edit page where your selected waypoints are listed. If you need waypoints from another chart, go to that chart and select them then hit submit. When you get to the edit page, all your waypoints will be listed. You may repeat this. In addition, you may include a .gpx file or blank spaces on the edit page and all your session waypoint sill be included. When you have all your waypoints of interest listed, edit the names as desired, and enter any new ones manually that you might want. Use the new waypoint names to enter your routes, all one this one page, one route per line. Hit submit and a .gpx file will be downloaded to your computer that can be uploaded to your GPS with any number of programs such as EasyGPS. Let me know how you like it. Note: As has been pointed out, you don't really know where a buoy is until you have been there. This was made very evident to me during the Jessica Cup race this year where one of the finish line markers moved about 200 yards during the second race. Needless to say, that greatly favored one end of the line. Also, the pages are now "session" aware so if you want to start over, close your browser and start a new session.
