Boaters that buy gas at gas docks, please help!

The pump at Lanes End is right at the bottom left of the L shaped dock. You can see the shadows of it when you zoom in.

May I suggest that you change the current location name of Melvin Village to Melvin Village Marina.

Really great App. Thanks.

Thanks for this info! I fixed both items.

Dbreskin: I also 'fixed' the date display issue for Winnisquam Marine on Winni, just to keep the confusion down.

A few others sent feedback via the app, I'm handling those issues also.

Thanks everyone!

Wow, great job updating the site so quickly. By the time ice out comes around it is going to be an unbelievable resource.

I believe this is the gas pump location.

On the Gas Map, The number 4 for Fay's Boat Yard is hidden by the number 12.

Perhaps the gas availability locations could be included on the list of these locations. ⛽️

Due to the nature of the map, at some zoom levels, an overlap of the pins can occur, I can't really control that.

The best thing to do is to zoom in. You can use the + or - buttons to zoom in or out. Alternatively on a phone or tablet use two fingers to "pinch / expand" to zoom in or out. On a PC with a mouse, you can also double click to zoom in, double right click to zoom out, or if your mouse has a wheel, you can sometimes zoom in our out by holding the CTRL key down while using the scroll wheel if the mouse if over the map.

SIKSUKR: Thanks for the clarification. I think I have it fixed now.

Recently Google's updated satellite view of the lake is very clear. It almost seems like you can zoom in and almost look inside the windows of many boats now. LOL it's nice to have this much clarity.

Please let me know if any other Pins are not right at the gas pump on each dock. I think I have most of them ok now, but could have made an error as I haven't been to every gas dock on the lake.

Another idea I have is to take a photo of each gas dock, showing how it looks on approach from a boat's point of view. I'll put these photos on the station detail page. I think it will help someone that may not be familiar with each gas dock.

I also thought about adding navigational warnings or notes for any gas docks that may be difficult to approach. For example, a friend told me that Melvin Village Marina can be difficult to approach when the lake is low, he claims he hit a rock last fall on the way in, but I don't remember what the solution to this was. I thought that having notes about any potential hazards would be helpful, but not knowing of any myself, I would have to rely on the boating community to provide this info to me.

After a friend saw the Gas Map, he asked if I could place all the navigational markers on the lake on the map. If anyone has the lat/lon position of all the lake NAVAIDs, perhaps send me a message here or via the App. I'm not sure if I would want to implement this as it may make the map a bit cluttered, but I could take a look and consider it.

Thanks again everyone for the contributions and corrections. I appreciate it, after all, this is for you, the Winni boating community.

Agreed. I go for less clutter whenever possible.

Thanks for this, I was pretty close! Let me know if any others are off a bit, i'm happy to update them.

Yes, but if I had the Lat/Lon positions of all the markers, I could offer a separate map, perhaps even showing your current location on the map at the same time.

Is there a list of the Lat/Lon positions of all the markers on the lake somewhere?

This is not important, but might be fun to see how the data could be useful.

Rich, you say you want your pins placed "right on the gas pump" so you might want to take another look at the pin placement for West Alton Marina.

Your pin is real close but it's currently about 8-12 feet out in the water, straight off the gas dock. That short peaked roof to the left of the current pin placement is the roof over the gas pumps (but you probably already knew that!).

Thought you might like to know!

Thanks for this! I just updated the Pin location.

We wouldn't want someone trying to park their boat in the wrong place and attempting stretching the gas pump hose too far!

A friend asked me why not include gas docks on Lake Winnisquam also?

This would be very easy to do, as I think there are just two (or are there three?) Gas Docks on Winnisquam.

I don't boat on Winnisquam, so I have no local knowledge, any thoughts on this?

This way WinniGas.com would be covering both 'Winni' lakes in NH. Any thoughts on this, pro's vs con's?

If I did this, I suppose the easiest way to implement this would be to 'rebrand' this as the "Winnipesaukee Lakes region Gas Dock's listings", vs creating a separate lists for Winnipesaukee vs Winnisquam.

Nice job with the gas docks info.

It would be nice to be able to sort on location and additive also.
If you made 5 columns instead of 3 it would make this possible.

This is how it might look:

Thanks for this suggestion, I'm considering it, but I need to work out the details as small phones don't work well with too many columns. There are still a lot of small iPhones out there!

Thank you.
It's good to see someone who actually responds to suggestions & questions the way you do. GOOD JOB!

Reading this again, I'm not sure what you mean, perhaps you can elaborate?

FYI: On the Gas Map, you can scroll down and see the list of stations, and then tap on a station number, and it will point out that station number on the map. I tried to make it as easy as possible, but I'm always open to suggestions for improvements.
