Captain America Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 I am looking for a mobile app that has contour line maps and gps. I don't want to pay $15/month for the navionics app, I am on a college student budget. I found the iboats app that is a one time payment of $20 for the US maps. That is an option. The maps are not as detailed as Navionics, but I can study up online to find the more subtle structure. Do any of you guys have experience using apps other than navionics for your on the water contour maps? Any recommendations for good apps? Thanks. Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted July 27, 2020 Super User Posted July 27, 2020 I'm using the I-Boating app on my Galaxy Tab 8" - I think the detail is very good. Here's a screen-shot showing the recorded track of my 'best of the year' catch last year. Recording your day plus setting waypoints is one reason I went with that one. Quote
Captain America Posted July 27, 2020 Author Posted July 27, 2020 my issue with the iboats is that the maps are different than navionics. On the navionics web app i find good looking structure, but it looks way different on the iboats app. I don't know which one is more accurate. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted July 27, 2020 Super User Posted July 27, 2020 In my experience, Navionics is more accurate on most lakes, but I've also encountered lakes where i-boating is more accurate. It really depends on the water, but you can't beat the price of i-boating ? Roger Quote
Super User J Francho Posted July 27, 2020 Super User Posted July 27, 2020 The app says my sub expired in October 2018, and I've been using the app just fine. Maybe I'm not using all the features, but this serves my purposes fine. Quote
