THEY ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR NAVIGATION
GPS Waypoints for Lake Travis:
Submitted by David A. McClung
GPS Waypoints start at the dam and work up the lake. Each entry starts with Lat/Lon, then
waypoint name for the GPS receiver followed by a description of the waypoint. Note that
the naming convention used is the first letter of the lake name is the first letter of the
waypoint. All points here are named T????? This keeps all of the Lake Travis points
together in my receiver. All lake points end in P or PT; all creek entrances, coves, and
canyon entrances end in C; and any marinas end in M.
In the vicinity of Lake Travis 1 minute latitude equals about 1.15 statute miles (5280
feet) or 1.01 nautical miles (6000 feet) and 1 minute longitude equals about .99 statute
miles or 0.87 nautical miles. Therefore, one tenth of a minute is about 600 feet and one
hundreth of a minute is about 60 feet in either latitude or longitude. The points
indicated here should be within about 60 feet of actual points on the ground. This is
roughly the same as the estimated position error (EPE) available from the GPS system.
The points are generally in the water, just off of the topographical feature indicated.
The GPS Waypoints will help you know where you are on the lake. Extreme CAUTION
should be used when navigating to the points. USE THIS INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK!
