Default GPS Number Lists

These are "buyer beware" numbers. Newer versions of these GPS waypoint lists have been published farther down in this thread



I've deleted posts that contain the earlier versions of the files that I've posted newer ones one..



Enjoy

Gonna also convert the State of Florida AF list and Alabama's reef list. Just takes a little more time to work with the many pages on both. Will post them out here as well.

Redlegs, hope I'm not the bearer of bad news, but if converting those numbers into a google earth database is your intention you might have been beat to the punch. Check out this website if you're not familiar: EARTHNC.COM It's a really neat deal and you can also overlay nautical charts, reefs, debris, etc. You can also convert these numbers and download them to your gps through their program. Pretty cool. If that's what you were up to hopefully it'll save you some time. Otherwise, please disregard and I'll go back to lurking.

Checked some of my old numbers with these and they are right on the button.Wonder where all of these came from as I know there are some that were private as I had quite a few of them and even the names were the same. My whole book was in TD's and was useless looks like I've got a new book now. Sure could have used these two weeks ago could have saved me a few hundred dollars in fuel costs . As always a day late.

War Eagle, I've been converting them for a while for my own use. Got the idea several years ago when I saw what Destin Sharks did with google earth. After that, I went around collecting various public sources for info and converting them. Is not bursting my bubble, since I've had a process to convert them fairly easily for a number of years. I keep numbers for Maine all the way thru Texas as well as the Shipwreck database.

My only intention here is sharing them with the other members of the forum (at least the public sites), in a few common formats, and pertaining to the area. That way everyone gets a chance at having a few public numbers without any cost.

I've already invested (personally) in a GPS conversion utility that converts to/from just about anything/any format, so I could write the files to my C80.

Ok, I'm rambling since the caffeine has kicked in. Summary: not bursting my bubble; just sharing what I have with all who want or don't want. Figure it's good for those that don't have the public numbers loaded, or need a start.

/r Steve

Not sure if you are referring to the MBT numbers or not, but they are public. MBT has a web page that allows anyone to add numbers to it and then the entire list is viewable on the web site. Some of them may have started out as "private" but once a diver or fisherman posted the numbers into MBT's list: it's not private any more (IMHO).

The other list (and the ones I'll be posting soon), all come from public "viewable" on the web lists (county and state publications). All I've done is convert them from PDF (or whatever format) into google earth datafiles and/or CSV (Excel files).
