About LakeOntarioPorts.com

LakeOntarioPorts.com combines the extraordinary visualization capabilities of Google Maps with a comprehensive directory of marine destinations on Lake Ontario.

The purpose of the site is to help boaters plan voyages to Lake Ontario destinations. Here are some of the ways this site can make planning your next voyage easier:

• Set your location. Use the "Set Location" link below the map to establish your home base. Once set, all search results will include the distance from your location for each result.
   
• What's near? Say you want to visit the Kingston area, but aren't sure what marinas and yacht clubs are in the vicinity. To find out, simply click on the map near Kingston, then click the "What's near?" link just above the map.
   
• Measuring distances. To find the distance between any two points on the map, click the "Measure" link just below the map, then select your two points. The distance between them in nautical miles will be shown just above the measure link.
   
• Tags. Each location on the lake is "tagged" with descriptive attributes. For example, to find fuel services, or locations with WIFI Internet, simply search for "fuel" or "wifi".
   
• NOAA chart overlay. As an additional planning aid, you can view the map with an NOAA Raster Navigation Chart (RNC) overlaid on a satellite view. Just click the "NOAA" button in the top right corner of the map.
