I have used my Garmin bike computer for navigation on kayak trips... I just draw a freehand route along wherever I'm going and save the route. I use one of the rubber band style mounts that comes with the head unit and mount it into the middle of my paddle. Works pretty good because everything looks so much different on Google Earth than in person, so the navigation assist definitely helps.
Thank you for this video. I was recently plotting out more of the Santa Fe. We are trying to expand our kayaking range. I am used to kayaking River Rise and south to 47 bridge. The river is oddly high. I'd be curious what this stretch looks like on normal conditions. Definitely need to bring my GPS for this trek with all the off-shoots. This part of the river isn't for the average person. I'll definitely have to check this out. Your video was perfect timing for my research. Hope to see you on the rivers.
Exactly the video I was looking for. Looking at putting in at Worthington Springs and paddle down to the Suwannee and camp along the way. Anyone got any suggestions on places to camp. Thanks for the video!! Edit: I have transport from river sink to river rise
I would put in around High Springs and go down to the Suwanee. If you put in at Worthington Springs you're going to run into too many trees and obstacles. Also the river goes underground for 3 miles at O'leno State Park, so you would have to somehow find a way to portage which I don't really think. Is that feasible.

Hi, I’m new to kayaking. What map/app do you use?
I use Google maps to find places and I use Strava to track my adventures.
