GPS Can be funky.
We know you love your GPS, but on ocassion certain GPS navigation systems can get it wrong. Because we are located on the water, your phone may be a little confused. Don't be fooled if your GPS inadvertantly asks you to drive into the river. If you have any please feel free to call us directly and a friendly representative will be glad to help.
