After 5 years of fishing out of my 15' duck boat I've jumped into the deep end! I bought a used fish/ski boat that was owned by a local crappie fisherman.
Here's the dilemma...
The previous owner didn't clear his waypoints off the GPS. In the opinion of C.c, am I obligated to ignore said waypoints?
Nope part of the purchase, if he had wanted them ignored he would have removed them. I buy and sell a lot of depth finders depending on to who I sell I remove them sometimes, sometimes I don't.
What is a waypoint?
girl you got a lot to learn!!!:Rofl A waypoint is a point of interest marked by the fisherman in his depth finder that uses GPS, makes it easy to go back to a location. Having someone else's waypoints just give you a general I idea of where they have fished before. sometimes its obvious why they marked it and sometimes you don't have a clue.Quote:

A handheld GPS wouldn't be a bad idea. I use one hunting more than fishing but it has waypoints marked and named as to where I park and such. Soemtimes when tracking a deer it comes in very handy.Quote:

Depends on who you bought it from--the waypoints may not be worth a thing :)
If it was Wannabes it would be helpful.....show you where not to fish lolQuote:

You should send them to me, then erase them.
sold as is ? it is at is . there is your answer .:biggrin
I'd say that everyone of them was worth a look N see. If you don't like certain ones erase them and keep the ones you like.
It was sold as is, he's probably not concerned or he definately would have erased them.
Best answer so far!!!!!!!Quote:
