What if I lost my GPS fishing or hunting data/points? I did not buy the additional
software to make custom maps on my computer from my GPS unit or I own a
handheld unit. Here is a suggestion to use a free State of Texas site to create a
backup GPS notebook page like the one I have pictured below.
Web Page:
http://134.125.70.235/drillers-new/index.asp Go to: Well Report Search By Map
At the left Map Tools section: Click on (+) to zoom in
Place the curser over SW corner of Smith Co (Lake Palestine)
Click map 8 times centering on the 155 Hwy & Neches River
Go to: (XY) button to enter GPS lat longs.
( -95 deg is 95 deg west of London England historical observatory
You many need to enter -95 deg in some mapping web sites such as
Topozone.com)
Either click on a spot on the map to create a GPS marker or plot a marker
from your own GPS data point. Enter: Lat 32 12 07 Long 95 28 51
Then click on Add Point To convert 32 12.121 times 0.121 x 60 = 07 sec
[+] Pan button drags the map. List Buffer/Points button adds your points to a list below.
Rest the curser on the horz line at the top of the purple GPS data area or just
above the words: Click on the map to move the purple GPS data area higher.
This purple section lists Lat Lon GPS data as Lon Lat (Deg Min Sec) on the left.
Once you have added a group of points and have moved, zoomed the map, and
listed your GPS lat long data push Print Screen button on your keyboard.
You can paste this on to MS Paint or a WORD.doc and customize your
own GPS notebook page. To convert 32.847690 to Deg Min Sec go to Topozone.com
If anyone has a better Web site let me know.
