Re: [Paddlewise] Quetico Way Points

        I can't help you with the waypoints, but I have a few suggestions.
First, instead of lat/long, use UTM coordinates instead.  Those are those
little blue tick marks on the edge of a topo map.  Those distances are in
meters and of a fixed length so they are far more convenient to enter into
your receiver.  There is also some shareware available to transfer data
between your receiver and your computer.  Here in NJ, EMS has cables to
connect the two.
        Also, Magellan has a GPS Topo-Guide which has lots of info, plus
some overlay cards that you can line up on your topo sheet and read off the
UTM coordinates directly.  $15 or so.
        When you do find your points remember always to plot your route, not
just the destinations.  It's no fun in late evening to discover that you now
have to paddle across an island to get to your campsite!
