ozMoses Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) G'Day All, I'm often out on the water and wondering where I can buy stuff. From what I've found, there's no decent map available of water accessible shops for Sydney and surrounds. If there's interest, I'd like to crowd-source this information from the good folks on this site, then combine it into a public google map. Would anyone be interested in contributing to this / find a resource like this useful? I've created a public google map that would be a great platform on which to host it, if anyone would like to add a location, it's open to anyone to edit at this link: http://bit.ly/mapFR Alternatively, you could add a destination in this thread and I'll add it to the map. Cheers, Moses. Edited December 2, 2016 by ozMoses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - will check out Tripadvisor. I'm trying to make something tailored for people in boats, ideally where you can pull up out the front in your boat and buy stuff.

I think it'd work well for: bottleshops take away shops coffee shops pubs restaurants The key is being able to berth / beach the boat there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got Navionics - I'll take a better look into the app as it seems a bit hard to interpret... eg you have to click into every marina to see if they have 'transient berths' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ojay Samson Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Something that would also be good to implement are for those with boats who don't have a 'head', public toilet locations that are accessible by boat Ie a place to Moore up (preferably free) or beach and walking distance to a toilet. Not sure if there is a feature like this already as I only just got a fish finder with gps and would love to have something like this when I'm out and about.

Raymondo Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 My Garmin chart plotter has this info as part of the maps program and can be updated via wi fi , usb etc. Surely Lowrance, furuno etc provide this to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymondo Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 On a side note, shopping from a boat is a perfect way to ruin a days fishing, I'll never understand the latte sipping Sydney crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymondo Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Lol Mabye, I'm very happy with my Garmin. More features than needed to be honest, plus the touch screen interface I find is far easier to use. Probably because my phone is touch screen, its what I'm use to.

DrownNprawns Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) So don't tell everyone. Woy Woy Wharf is a public wharf and you can tie up for free and across the road is Pub lots of food shops and toilets just stay away from ferry end. Hope this is helpful Edited December 6, 2016 by DrownNprawns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
