If one follows the dotted green lines in the chart posted above the rocks will be safe from the props.

But that means you have to have a chart and use it! The attendant at Roberts Cove Marina told me the other day that he had a family staying there and they were headed out in their boat. The gentleman had his son run back to the car to fetch his GPS. The son returned with a car GPS. The dad stuck the suction cup on the windscreen and off they went! The attendant said he tried to sell him a lake chart but the guy had no interest! Hilarious and scary all at the same time!

A fair number of Garmin "car" units can run all sorts of charts - with Garmin purchasing Navionics, there's a decent chance that they had plugged in a boating card and were ok...

Or not, however, if it's something they do frequently it would save them the purchase of a separate GPS for boating.

I use Navionics to plan my salt water trips.

Using the Active Captain app I can transfer the routes and waypoints to my trailer boat's Garmin gps.

That boat is seldom used in fresh water so I have not purchased the inland waters data card.

If my iPad had a screen that could be read in bright sunlight I would use it on the lake.

For now, the lake boat has no gps so I use the waterproof chart.

Where do you boat from in salt water?
