Corrib charts for your GPS

Paparazzo

I got this link on wiki: http://www.corribcharts.com/
Free charts of the corrib, you can stick them in your GPS. Very handy!

JohnCleary

You're welcome

We've about 4 years of hard work put into this!

Great work John, hope you don't mind me posting the link up here. I was showing it to a few corrib veterans and they were seriously impressed. There's a few shallows out in the middle of the lake they reckon are great for fly fishing but are impossible to find, they spotted them straight away on the charts!

Glad to be of help. There's 2 people involved in the project.

There will be more updates as time goes on.

Feedback so far has been nothing but positive.

Corrib is no different to any other water system. Do a quick Google, it'll save me typing all day!

These maps on my gps makes it so easy to troll. I deep troll, so handy knowing exactly where the shallows are. Gives you a lot more confidence to explore the lake.
Really handy for doing the salmon run along the north shore close to the bank. That was only one the locals could do before, but now anyone can do it!

The wall chart is really good quality too, really heavy paper and well worth the money.

I did, well worth it too. Looking forward to loading the new maps up. Have a new laptop, so need to install the garmin software again.

Many thanks, you are one of the very few generous souls! Some people must think that this utility fell from the sky! I dare not count the costs we have incured so far

I was shocked to hear how few people gave a donation. In fairness, I didn't till I got that email. Hopefully a few more people give something after that.
Would you charge people to download it?

Nope, it goes against our ethics. However, freeloaders and tightwad's grind our gears! People are free to donate as much as they like.

We are delighted to announce that the latest version of CorribCharts has now been optimized for the Nuvi and will be released shortly as a separate "Nuvi" installation. You now have access to depths and other marine features. While it is not as versatile as the proper marine version running on non-automotive units, it gives access to all the information needed for fishing or boating. This Nuvi version is expected to be released by the end of January. Current subscribers will automatically receive this updated version. If you are not a subscriber and wish to obtain the latest version of CorribCharts which will include the Nuvi version please click here

See attached screenshot of CorribCharts running on a Garmin GPSMap 551s and a Garmin Nuvi 1300

Want to obtain CorribCharts for your Garmin G2 GPS or Nuvi but don't know how, or scared by technology? No problem! Drop us an e-mail and we will post out an SD Card with the latest version of CorribCharts installed. Just insert into device and go!

Would this work properly on a Garmin Oregon 400t?

Cannot say for certain as they haven't been tested on that particular GPS, but additional maps can be added using MicroSD Card so there's no reason why they wouldn't

The charts are discontinued
This is a pity, as it's an amazing service.

Dear CorribCharts user,
It is with huge regret that I must announce, due to demand by Trevor Northage, that as of 13/07/2011, the CorribCharts project will no longer continue.

In no way do I wish or want the project to cease, but Trevor has stated that he no longer has any affiliation with the CorribCharts project and I do not have the time to continue with the project myself. I have included e-mail from Trevor to me to prove that this is not my personal wish. As the project was created with both our sets of data, if I continue the project in the future I will be starting from scratch (although that has not been ruled out)

I would personally like to thank you for all your assistance, donations and support. If I can in any way of assistance to anyone on Lough Corrib or provide information, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can still be contacted on corribcharts@gmail.com as it was a personal e-mail account which I simply facilitated the use of by the CorribCharts project.

Kind regards,
Niall O' Flaherty





Hi Niall,

This action, as you are probably well aware, has become inevitable – and should resolve any differences that have become apparent.

All the best

Would the charts have worked on a smart phone ? any body know ? Im just back from a week on Corrib and they might have been useful.

Paparazzo

Think it has to be a garmin. Doesn't matter, they're not available any more. I still have them in my inbox thank god.

The digitized maps?
Can you forward them please?

stylie

Can you forward them to me aswell ? curious to see if I can get them to work, also would like to compare them to my own observations from my dept finder.

thanks

coolwings

Ha Daroxtar. I'll pass on the little dig, it's a fair shot. :-)

From what I read the guys who produced the original maps are both not permitted by each other to sell them now. Is that correct? Or am I misunderstanding that notice and one of them can continue with the maps?

My fear is the project goes down the tubes in a way that makes it impossible to obtain what is presumeably the best Corrib map made to date. I do not know if they were free (it said so) or pay to use but free to download (possible) shareware style.

If you made a donation, you would have received the charts. For now, they are unavailable.

what was your query?

kennyw

Hi all,

anybody hearing any reports on the fishing around corrib as of late..

Was thinkin of headin up around end of august all going well.

Does anybody reackon if it would be worth a trip.? Any links to some decent boat hire or Ghillies would be much appricated.

Thanks

stylie

Good deals here till the end of the season, http://www.corribwave.com/ and he can arrange a boat man if you need one.
If the weather behaves you should get fishing in August through out the day on a variety of methods, wets, dries and the dap. The fish will wont be shoaling up in any specific area yet so fishing deep to shallow around the islands will produce.
