Oh the thrill of Americade! I love to see the assortment of bikes, big and small, some with luggage carriers, side cars or even customized trailers, as they drive down the road. Some travel in groups, some individually out to explore the beautiful countryside and open roads with this wonderful weather we have been having. I envy those with motorcycle GPS the most as they can take off with confidence and explore the area, looking for historic sites or just simply enjoying the beauty of nature here beside beautiful Lake George and throughout the Adirondacks.
Well, today we had quite a sudden storm with the sky opening up and dropping quite a deluge on all. I am certain that any cyclists caught on the road were especially glad their motorcycle GPS unit was waterproof at that time, or it would have been ruined for sure. Of course, I expect most have motorcycle GPS mounts so they were able to grab their GPS units and run for shelter until the storm passed. Now the rain has passed, the sun is peeking through, and I envy those cyclists again as they are back out on the open road enjoying the camaraderie of their friends and the beauty of nature all around them. Such a wonderful family type adventure must certainly be remembered for years to come and anticipated with relish from spring to spring.

Turn by turn directions for marine GPS? That’s a new one on me! I was talking to someone who asked for that just recently. That sounds pretty slick, but can’t say I have ever seen that before. After all, on a river or a lake the maps are going to show you where there are obstacles and where it is safe, deep enough for the boat to navigate safely. Nobody sticks to just one particular route unless they are navigating white water or other treacherous situations, working around shoals or sandbars or whatever.
Anyway, GPS chartplotters or GPS fishfinder combos are meant to show you the lay of the land, the obstacles and the channels which, if you actually use their aid, will help you to navigate safely and to find where those big fish actually live, but won’t give you a strict street map setup. After all, in my book that is much of the magic of spending time on the water, the ability to wander freely and enjoy the ride. Again, turn by turn directions? Not really, but marine GPS will still certainly help you to find your way and bring you home again.
