I would like to get GPS coordinates for Central and Breton Island. If it makes a difference, we usually launch at Breton Sound Marina.
Thank you,

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is part II of a two-part series detailing the Maptech Terrain Navigator Pro, Version 8 program. Part I appeared in the May issue.
I will be spending a week in the Grand Isle area the first of February with my 26-foot Robalo, and would like to know if you could point me in the right direction for amberjack, grouper and possibly tuna.
I want to try fishing more close to home in the Slidell area. In particular, I want to try fishing the Twin Spans and Trestle areas. My problem is I don’t know which area to start fishing because there are miles of bridges.
What’s procedure for Edge files?

Dear Capt. Paul:I want to purchase your Vermilion Bay waypoints, but I’m not sure what I need to get them into a Lowrance LCX-28c.
Could you explain to me what hardware/software I need and outline the procedure for installation?
I purchased my first GPS, a Garmin Map 60 CSX. I’ll learn the basics of it, then I’ll purchase some topo software for the coastal marshes of Louisiana and the Southwest Mississippi area.
I attended your GPS seminar in Slidell on March 31, and learned a lot of general info as well as many pointers on how to use my new Garmin 76CSX while fishing. It has been a long time since I enjoyed a presentation that much.
