Hey all,
Check out the new "locations" tab on the site.

I thought it might be more useful to see where people boat on a map, in case some one decides on a roadtrip, so I asked Kevin to put it up. So please add markers where ever you boat.

If you have any troubles adding locations, let me know and I will be happy to add them for you.

I do not see this on the mobile site. Can you post a link?

[Kevin Leclair]

It is not available on the "mobile" version, but you should be able to view it on the "desktop" version of the website.

Keith,

Thanks for coming up with this idea. I have added a few locations around us, hopefully we will get others to add those around them.

[kseroski70]

We are up to 8 locations in the US (Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, New Jersey). I know there have to be more of you out there in more exotic locations than this!!!

I tried to add Elephant Butte lake in NM but I'm apparently not smart enough to get it right. A little help?

I added it for you... How deep is the lake? Looks pretty big.

The Doo has been in a lot of water. Sorry for so many locations but i live in OK now.

[AmongstTheWaves]

The Butte is a very inconsistent lake thanks to NM's dry climate. There are times when it's very healthy and others when new "islands" begin to appear. I'm not sure how deep it is on average. Right now, per the army corp of engineers, it's up to 505,000 ac/ft.

[kseroski70]

H-Do-O,
That is actually great. I think this map will help those new to boating have someone to ask about conditions at a lake, and allow some of us to get together. For example, RFoster130 is in the area and would love to check out how my challenger handles, and since he has been on the Ohio River he can help me with where to put in.
And if I make it to Washington or Oklahoma, I'll be sure and drop you a line!

Hey all... With the warmer weather, and the thawing forums I wanted to remind everyone of the Locations map. Add your location, and who knows, we may end up with a flotilla of Sea-Doos someplace.

[kseroski70]

We have our first European marker - St Brelades Bay, Jersey, UK!
Thank you Strudders.

I got the take me fishing boat ramp app for my android and my wifes Phone and I love it. It integrates with google maps and shows all the good ramps.

[Kevin Leclair]

It has been a while since we have seen any new submissions to the locations map, keep the submissions coming and happy boating!
