By leveraging this data on a mobile device with a highly accurate GPS/GNSS position, you can avoid all hazards and safely navigate the reservoir. I've used my skills in map making to create a highly accurate electronic boater's map of the reservoir that's easy to use on the water. Both methods are difficult to effectively use on the water. The only guidance available prior to this project has been paper maps, or estimated routes using visible landmarks and verbal guidelines. In light of how imprecise previous navigation methods were, a convergence of technologies making it feasible, and suffering several destroyed boat props myself, I was motivated to start this project. Stillwater's elevation level fluctuates almost 15 feet in a typical year (1664-1679 ft), and has a large number of rock shoals and stumps that cause havoc for boaters. This site documents my project to create digital navigation data for Stillwater Reservoir, located in the Adirondack Mountains in the Town of Webb, Herkimer County, New York.
