Got a smart Phone?

Look up the Navionics app. It's $10 and shows bottom contours of the Lakes. Any lakes for that matter. I have used it as a backup for my GPS/sounder for a couple years and it is spot on.

It also has a "divider" (not sure if that's the right term) that you can use to determine distance from point A to point B. Shows speed and compass bearing also. You hardly need a GPS/plotter with this app. and for $10 you can't beat it.

7.5 miles on a 260 to 290 heading from the pier heads is in the 150' area. Going further north or south of that will take 8-9 miles.

Online you can go to the Navionics online WebApp to simulate any of their charts at: http://webapp.navionics.com/?lang=en#products/NavionicsPlus@10&key=qpb%60GdproO If you click on the blue > symbol on the left side of the screen you can choose what chart product to use to view with the app.

In the bottom right corner there is a button with a compass tool to activate a point to point range tool that shows distance and heading of two points anywhere on the chart. Nice app. Here is a screen shot showing a plot line from the harbor to 150 FOW using the Navionics+ US/Canada chart.
