Description
Spend less time searching and more time fishing with 1,311 carefully compiled offshore GPS waypoints covering the Cape Lookout region and North Carolina’s northern beaches. Includes wrecks and reported wreck sites, artificial reefs, rocks, ledges, hardbottom, obstructions, and other potentially fish-holding structure.
Micro SD with GPX, KMZ, and CSV files for chartplotter use and trip planning.
COVERAGE OVERVIEW
This collection covers the northern North Carolina coast from the greater Wilmington area north to the Virginia line, including areas such as Topsail, Emerald Isle, Cape Lookout, Ocracoke, Hatteras, Oregon Inlet, and the surrounding coast.
TYPES OF LOCATIONS INCLUDED
- Wrecks and reported wreck sites
- Artificial reefs and reef components
- Rocks, ledges, and hardbottom
- Live-bottom and mixed-bottom areas
- Other potentially fish-holding structure
COMPILATION AND CLEANUP
The data was compiled and cross-referenced using multiple public, historical, and independently available sources. The collection was reviewed for obvious errors, duplicate locations, inconsistent names, and questionable coordinates. Obvious duplicate and near-duplicate locations have been reduced, and names and categories have been standardized where possible.
This is not a bulk dump of every coordinate we could find. It is a curated working collection intended to give offshore anglers a broad, organized starting point for researching and fishing the northern North Carolina coast, including the more remote stretches around Ocracoke, Hatteras, and Oregon Inlet.
YOUR Micro SD INCLUDES
- GPX waypoint file for compatible marine chartplotters
- KMZ file for viewing and planning trips in Google Earth
- CSV file for spreadsheet reference
- Digital waypoint-loading instructions
- Coverage and product-information guide
The amount of descriptive information varies by location; every waypoint includes GPS coordinates and a name, and most include a structure or location category, with additional descriptive detail where available.
CHARTPLOTTER COMPATIBILITY
The included GPX file is compatible with many Garmin, Lowrance, Simrad, Furuno, and newer Humminbird chartplotters. File compatibility, waypoint capacity, and import procedures vary by model, so please confirm your unit’s requirements before purchasing.
Many Humminbird HELIX and older Humminbird models use HWR files rather than GPX files. If you have a Helix unit or aren’t sure which format your unit requires, contact Brilliant Fishing NC before purchasing — HWR files can be produced on request.
Please also confirm your chartplotter has sufficient waypoint capacity for this collection before purchasing.
DELIVERY
This listing is for a Micro SD card that will be mailed to you via USPS Ground Advantage, with tracking and insurance. This is not a digital download (although if you’d like that, we do offer that as well, in a different listing)

The included instructions explain the general loading process for the major marine-electronics brands.
REGIONAL COVERAGE NOTE
The Southern and Northern collections intentionally overlap through a portion of North Carolina’s central coast. This gives anglers fishing near the boundary useful surrounding coverage in either regional package.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Waypoints represent reported, documented, or identified locations. Bottom conditions, wrecks, navigational hazards, and electronic-chart accuracy can change, and no location is guaranteed to hold fish. Always verify locations using current charts, your depth sounder, and safe boating practices. These files are fishing and trip-planning aids and are not a substitute for proper navigation.
LICENSE
Purchase grants the original buyer a personal-use license. The files may not be shared, copied for others, posted online, resold, repackaged, or commercially redistributed.
