SuperCorona Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 I've got the Navionics app that works well on my Android. 2 Quote
Super User NHBull Posted November 8, 2017 Super User Posted November 8, 2017 +1 on Navionics. Just an awesome app 1 Quote
Super User Further North Posted November 9, 2017 Super User Posted November 9, 2017 Ditto on Navionics. It's my back-up to my on-board Humminbird systems in case something stupid happens. Quote

Super User J Francho Posted November 9, 2017 Super User Posted November 9, 2017 Navionics is great, but why wouldn't the native map app work to get you back to the ramp? Quote

Not sure what you mean by "native app" but Google Maps isn't worth squat for showing water depth. You're gonna wanna avoid shallow water. That can be fatal to lower units. Quote
Jon burrows Posted November 11, 2017 Author Posted November 11, 2017 When I download the Navionics it said FREE... But after I downloaded it...it stated there would be a charge... I only needed a GPS for one area I fish... But I don't fish the area enough to pay for an app... Any other app I can use... Thanks Quote
Super User Scott F Posted November 13, 2017 Super User Posted November 13, 2017 Are you looking for mapping & depth, GPS or Mapping with GPS? The Navionics web app is just maps with depth contours. It doesn't show you where you are on the water. GPS mapping on your phone like Google Maps shows you where you are on a lake and how to return to the launch. But, it won't show the depth contours. Depth finders with mapping combine depth contours and shows you're location on the lake and how to get back to the launch. Quote

Tap the arrow button on the bottom left of the screen. Quote
