Introduce Yourself - January 2017

[LaFaunH]

LaFaun again,

There is a labyrinth of canals which I can access from the back yard of my condo.  I have been exploring and fishing from a canoe. The labyrinth can be confusing to navigate so I take my phone and Google Maps with me. It's interesting watching maps struggle with an address when I drop a pin for a way point but eventually I am able to get longitude and latitude for precise waypoints.

Are there plans to map the rivers and canals of the world? Hope so. Have fun out there exploring the world around us.
