* The data above should not be used for navigation purposes. The appropriate charts must be used for navigation and the Rideau channel is clearly marked with buoys. This GPS data can be used for daily trip planning and general waterway enjoyment (by answering that nagging question - how much farther is it to the next lockstation).
MY THANKS - this data has been kindly provided to me by Jim Weedon of the Canadian Hydrographic Service. It is based on a highly accurate DGPS survey conducted by the Canadian Hydrographic Service during the summer of 2003. It replaces much less accurate GPS data that I collected in 1999. So a big thank-you to Jim Weedon for sending this along.
Those with digital chart capabilities may be interested in the Nautical Data International, Inc. Web Site, the authorized digital chart dealer for the Canadian Hydrographic Service.
