Featured Presentation: BASK member Joe Berkovitz will talk about his new paddle planning tool called "Floating Trails," designed to be used across the U.S. The tool offers nationwide coverage of NOAA marine charts, and route drawing with automatic distance and bearing labels. Any generated maps with routes and tide overlays can be printed up to 11x17", or shared with other paddlers via a link. This customization is much more powerful than what is available from NOAA's Custom Charts website. Joe will review this great new tool, provide some examples, and address any questions.
Joe Berkovitz is a paddler, software developer, and sculptor who lives in Marblehead, Massachusetts. He has been kayaking for some decades now, and has been lucky enough to paddle lots of wonderful places from the Maine coast to Iceland, Arctic Canada and (of course) the Bay Area. A first-class navigator, Joe built this program to simplify preparing charts for kayakers across the continent.
