you can also make pins on google earth's desktop app (be sure to make sure it isn't tilted when you put the pins down) and then save your gps file, convert to your FF's format in GPSbabel and then import into your FF.

I've also found Fish-n-maps to be pretty helpful. I even recently scanned the GPS table on one, parsed down the coordinates to CSV, and batch-imported them to Google Earth to save a bunch of manual entry.

Awesome good to know! Looks like Fish-n-maps has a ton of other great info as well.

Curious - when you say deep water, how far out are you going? Farthest I have been from shore on my kayak is 1.5 miles, but would like to go farther. I dont really have a gauge of how far others are going when looking for spots. I want to be safe of course, I am looking at getting a radio and maybe a few flairs.

I appreciate the response!
