I have just teamed up with a good friend of mine, John McWhite, owner of Profinder Charts who has come up with the most innovative thing to hit the GPS market in years. Over the past couple of years, Profinder Charts has quickly become the leader in laminated charts due to their ease of reading, accuracy and overall number of GPS points and overall quality. (If you'd like to check out the website, it's www.profindercharts.com) Anyway, John has just come up with a way to put these charts DIRECTLY onto your GPS unit to eliminate you spending hours of time in front of your unit punching buttons. Literally, in less than 5 minutes you get HUNDREDS of points listed by their common name (unlike the Mapsunique or Garmin chips). The areas are broken up as follows with each area covering 50-80 miles of shoreline out to the Gulf Stream and beyond:
Cape Hatteras, NC (Including East Side of Cape Lookout Shoals)
Morehead City, NC (West Side of Cape Lookout Shoals and minimal East Side)
Wrightsville Beach, NC (Down to Frying Pan Shoals)
Ocean Isle Beach, NC/Little River, SC (Frying Pan Shoals to Little River)
Murrels Inlet, SC
Georgetown, SC
Charleston, SC
Brunswick, GA
Savannah, GA
Fernandina Beach, FL
Jacksonville, FL
St. Augustine, FL
Daytona, FL
Port Canaverel, FL
Fort Pierce, FL
Palm Beach (Lake Worth), FL
Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Key Largo, FL
Islamorada, FL
Marathon, FL
Key West/ Dry Tortugas, FL
Each area contains approximately 250 Waypoints and cost approximately $250 each. (We can work out a discount if you buy more than one area---the more you buy, the better the discount.) This is by far the hottest ticket on the market since each area contains the waypoints listed on his charts including approximately 100+ more that are not listed on his charts. The way it works is that we bring the software to your boat and load them on to your machine. The whole process takes less than a few minutes and none of the information you have on your system currently is erased.
If you have any questions about them or would like to talk about installing this on your system, please feel free to post on here or give me a call at (910) 279-2912. We are also currently working on going further north with this program and are in the process of getting all of the Gulf of Mexico set up so they can be downloaded to your GPS system.
