I clicked on about half a dozen of them in Nueces and San Patricio counties, Texas, that I know precisely where the boat ramps are, and 100% of the "view google map" button took me to the wrong place, some to the wrong end of Texas!

LOL! Reminds me of the map that supposedly showed where "convicted felons" lived. The ex-cop who posted it SWORE it was accurate, and it was just my normalcy bias that made me insist there weren't 7 different felons living ON our farm... including one in the middle of a stock pond, 1/3 mile from the closest road!

Can't believe everything you read on the internet!

Part of my job at our DNR was dedign of boat ramps/parking areas, I probly did 2-300 in my career in lakes & rivers across the state...I might be able to find most of the sites again, I'll wager that the above list wouldn't show more than half of them...
