Airwaves--I had to laugh at your post (it hit home). A number of years back I too had bought the plastic map ..... thinking space, convience, rigidity (blowing around while underway) etc etc ........ Being quite experianced on the Lake (but no ones perfect) every time I'd want to double check with the map ---- I too found my location "in the gap".
Since then ....... and a trick for all ...... we're back to the full sized, one sided map and we leave it folded and attached to clipboard in such a way that it's in the areas that we are most likely going to refer to it. For us that is up and around Moultonborough Bay. If not, it's usually a simple refolding job.
