Google Oceans

The word on the internet is that Google will be coming out with a new product soon called Google Oceans. Basically it is supposed to be Google Earth with lots of ocean data.

Until then I ran across someone's Google maps where they've added NOAA charts.  Just like the satellite images in google maps, the closer you zoom in the more detail shows up.

Here's a specific link for the Roys..

I just noticed that there a couple controls on the upper right of these maps that allows you to adjust the transparency of the chart and the labels.  If you do it right you can see the satellite imagery overlaid with a semi-transparent NOAA Chart.

That's sweeeeet!

It even shows the pinnacle where I got my last limit of blacks!

 Thanks  Brain... Modern teck, awsome... Wonder if my gps program will work on this,,

When Google Oceans comes out you might be able to interface your GPS with it.

That overlay is so cool!!

This raises an important question regarding the Coos Bay map.

Royg, why the heck are we not fishing Baltimore Rock?? That's gotta just be good, right...

that is a very nice site!
 I have taken Charts of the local waters here and cut them into usable pieces for favorite sites, laminated them and only take the ones I need for that trip. Helps a bit when you can see the rocks below the water you want to fish.
 ( I still have no fishfinder )
