Deez, you met me, remember?
I did all that EXCEPT......the "downloadable format" is a .gpx file, right enough.
But that won't open with anything except Google Earth!! And it's not a list of coordinates, it's a map........with "pinpoints" showing in the lake. If I put my cursor on one, I can read the GPS coordinates at the bottom. Should be good, right?
Trouble is, if I rely on those GPS coordinates showing at the bottom, and then put them in Google Maps, they show up about 500 yards north, ON LAND!! In other words, something is off by many yards.
I can't figure out how to get a simple list of the coordinates that those pinpoints represent. Maybe there's a way in Google Earth, but I've read "help" and played with it, and I'm lost.
Google Earth shows these waypoints as pinpoints with names like "GRL 8001" and "GRL 1309" etc. I can put cursor on the pins, but the GPS coordinates are either wrong........or Google Maps is wrong........or I'm an idiot.
I pick C.
Sigh.
