I wish to map the bottom of a lake with a boat. The GPS would have a
sounder.
As this is a totally new type of discussion for me,
was wondering what kind of setup do you envision ?
Having never played with a "fish finder" device,
was wondering if they have a GPS feature,
and for the lake mapping aspect,
- how do you intend to capture the GPS lat/lon PLUS the depth info ?
Lastly - what is the end result ? a depth map ? How would you create it ?
Just curious - as always willing to learn a little something different &
new...

But I discovered the whole effort I was about to launch myself on was
sorta pointless - our state's DNR had excellent contour maps of all
the lakes I was thinking about mapping myself.

FYI for anyone who ever wants to do this, I used to use - even for
cheap-ass commercial use on occasion - a model of Furuno depth sounder
that cost way under $1000 10 years ago, and put out a proper NMEA
depth message that any other NMEA-capable instrument could use.
I used to put it into a PC using my own survey software, but I suppose
one could always put it into a gps capable of logging position and
depth. My stuff was always on salt water, so I had tidal corrections,
and heave, pitch & roll to smooth out.

You can find it yourself using groups.google.

Your headers include - in the references header - the first post of
this thread. You could use that to track it down.
I see the whole thread.
I would bet that what Charles said about someone's adding to the
cross-post list is exactly the cause of your problem.

Addendum: the thread is incomplete in this newsgroup,
(alt.satellite.gps.magellan), whereas it was complete where I first
responded to you (alt.satellite.gps.garmin).
Also, the OP's post was not cross-posted.
This would seem to totally corroborate Charles's hypothesis.

Oh, maybe someone who likes to see you get ticked off.

Someone who has decided that the extra groups are appropriate, stupid.

What kind of an asshole would add extra groups to a response without
including the original post?
Who's stupid now, dipshit?

Adding and removing groups as a thread progresses is common, normal,
and should not be a cause for concern. The References header should
always lead you back to the source, if you're so inclined.

Probably best if you didn't ask that question. :)

Referring the OP to another group, if someone thinks that other group
is a more suitable place to ask a question, is common and normal.
Arbitrarily adding other groups to a response in mid-thread is
illogical, abnormal and uncommon, and rarely seen on usenet, with a
possible exception being users of GPS devices, hahahahaha!

Someone who realises that its completely trivial for anyone with even half a clue to
use the headers or groups.google to find the original if they want to read it, stupid.

You get no say what so ever on that or anything else at all, ever.

You two mutts might want to pull your noses out of each others asshole
long enough to notice who has actually posted some useful information
in this thread for the OP !
