    They should make a software upgrade where it asks you what teh lake level is when you turn it on...

    GPS is the worst thing that ever happened to some people. They honestly believe that if that screen says it's good they are good to go. I'll say it and I don't care who's feelings I may hurt.

    If you run full blast at night using only a GPS to navigate you are a complete and total MORON!

    I sat on Cedar last Saturday night and watched a number of boats that were flying down the lake way too dark to see them without lights. If this continues, someone is going to get killed.

    Any one that runs on high speed at night, GPS or what ever....

    Well, let's just say Darwin's theory of natural selection is alive and well !

    Yep that lake will have some bad accidents. It's just too crowded with boats of all sizes.

    Not to mention standing timber and stumps everywhere. You can't fix stupid, there is no known cure.

    GPS, full moon on a clear night in August, night vision goggles, whatever a person thinks they have to his or her advantage...I'll never understand why anyone runs on plane at night, let alone wide open. I always like being on Cumberland in August to catch the harvest moon, but all you'll catch me doing is idling or slightly above idle...or...completely shut down on the main lake and drifting.

    Re: Everyone-BE CAREFUL!

    sickening is about the only word i can come up with to describe how we felt when we came past the mouth of beaver this morning and saw that boat up on the bank. we went and checked all around the boat to see if someone was still there. as bad as the boat looked i dreaded finding out how the people in the boat were. sounds like they are very luck to be around to tell the story, hope they are ok. the fog was so thick this morning you could barely see the navigation lights on the front of the boat, its a long way from jtown to rowena at idle speed!

    For the protection of others who might be on the lake(s), don't think it would be a bad idea if Kentucky required all boat operators to have a license, not unlike the testing required to drive an auto....Still, you can't fix stupid, but maybe...just maybe you could limit their opportunities to harm, kill others...

    This maybe a crazy question, but how do they miss the buoys. They don't match up much to gps
