Bizer (rhymes with "geyser") charts have
combined state-of-the-art digital graphics with the precision of the Global
Positioning System to create superb, waterproof boating charts of Lake
Winnipesaukee and Lake Winnisquam. Some of Bizer's features include:
- Buoy and rock positions that have been measured with
GPS surveying satellites to place buoys/rocks in their precise location
(+/- 35 feet). Bizer continues to have the
most precise buoy positions. Other maps of these lakes place buoys
in their approximate position and are as much as 550 feet in error.
- Almost four times as many charted rocks as other
charts.
- Bizer continues to have the
most accurate depth information of Lake Winnipesaukee and Lake Winnisquam.
All known areas less than six feet deep are marked in blue. Since
1996, only three boaters have shown us a shallow area less than five feet
deep that we overlooked. This information is vital to a navigator as
most boats have a draft less than five feet. This feature is not on
any other chart of these lakes.
- Bizer has accurate latitude
and longitude grid markings for use with GPS or LORAN. As a service
to our customers, the back of Bizer's folded Winnipesaukee chart has a
list of 250+ waypoints with their latitude and longitude.
- U.S. Geological Survey map accuracy standards are
that 90% of all data points (including buoys and rocks) be within 0.5 mm
(1/50 inch) of their true scale location. Only Bizer meets those standards.
Navigating on Lake Winnipesaukee is similar to navigating on the ocean as
well as most other lakes. Lake Winnipesaukee has shallow sandbars and
treacherous rocks just like everywhere else. This is why we decided to make our
chart similar to other marine charts.
