Has anyone used this map? Under map layers in the top left screen you can select platforms to include them on the map. Does anyone know if the platform locations get updated frequently? Another words, are they keeping up with the removals?

The cool part of the site is that they show images of some of the artificial reefs like Brazos-A-132.

I have tried to find Boatmans reef three different times over the last 3-4 years and have not found it yet on my boats depthfinder/gps or on my buddies boat. It might be there, but not where my gps says it is by the coordinates given. Nothing but flat bottom every time with 2 different boats. Good luck!!!

What kind of Gps do you have Banderapass1? I have a Lowrance HDS-7. Every other structure that you can see .....it is right on the money. Kind of Queer I think?

I checked this out today and it is nice. The "measure" feature helps to plan a trip and budget fuel consumption. I only have 250 gallons on twin inboards so I only get about 1 mpg. I did notice that it does not match my Hook-N-Line map so I'm assuming they don't update it too often. One more tool to drive you crazy while you're sitting in the office dreaming about fishing!!
God Bless and be safe on the water.

No wonder the boatman's reef can't be found. On the website it's listed under different coordinates. I assume the website is wrong because they couldn't find it. I'm using your coordinate tomorrow, hope to find it.
