Ditto the above statement for me too!

Funny how you develop a confidence on a "side" of the Lake. Gatto, I did not look but I suspect your from eithor the Alton or Wolfboro area. Reason I say that is I have no issues navigating the Pitchwood/Spindle spars at nite (at speed) yet on night trips to Alton (i.e. Shipley's/ Sandy Point) I have to cue up my attention when navigating the spars at the Northeast corner of Ratllesnake. Then again - home port for us is near FL#1

To All that answered my query -- a hearty THANK YOU -- Seems like a no brainer for $10. And will certainly be an upgrade as I currently use an old Garmin meant for hiking, which I self loaded with floating lites and certain spars that continually give headaches or surprise me (especially at nite).

Thank You all once again ..................... and Happy Thanksgiving to all (be safe)
