Oklahoma brush pile waypoints tutorial. Today I show you how to get thousands of free brush pile waypoints. The information comes straight from the Oklahoma wildlife department’s website through an interactive map. I discovered this information has been around for years but you had to know where to look. The earliest form that I was aware of was an Excel document. On the document, some of the brush piles were installed in the 90s. The interactive map is compiled of the more recently installed ones. Now it’s easier than ever to get thousands of free Oklahoma brush pile waypoints in our Lakes using the ODWC interactive map. This is the newest version of the lake map book that they handed out at the classic several years ago. The main difference between the two is they actually give you the GPS coordinates on the interactive map.
You can now essentially just copy and paste the information. The Oklahoma wildlife department has done a fabulous job of documenting the location of thousands of brush piles in almost all of Oklahoma Lakes. There are even a few brush piles on Grand Lake, Hudson Lake, and Ft Gibson Lake. The GRDA controls these lakes so I didn’t expect the Wildlife Department to have installed any brush there. Now I will show you my process of using Google Earth Pro to store these waypoints. I can then transfer them to my Garmin Locators by using GPSBABEL software. gpsbabel is a free program that will convert Google Earth Pro files to most formats that current locators can read. The only difference between the brands in this tutorial is what file type is needed. This tutorial is sure to make your time on the water more productive.
