The 9.99 app is for USA (including Alaska)....

The 14.99 app includes most of Canada..

If you have an iPhone and are a fisherman or boater,
$9.99 a stupid silly price for what this app does. It's
worth more than that just as a back-up for you main
GPS.

I was truly amazed at how well it works. I was doubly
amazed that you can download all the lakes in the U.S.
for no charge ! Many of these lakes have 2 foot elevation
contour.

It's true, it will not zoom in as close as you can get with
a regular GPS, or even this same program running on the
iPad (I have that too), but hey, this is truly "Batman"
technology if you ask me.

good fishing, Chris

.

It's a cool app, but the only time I could see me using it would be fishing with someone else and wanting to fish some of my spots. I have Ozi Explorer with KY and Barkley lake charts on computer so I can check out new areas of the lakes and set way points to load on my memory card.

is the ipod screen easy to see in the sunlight outside?

yep trust me for 10 bucks u will more than happy.

Doc. Just curious how close you can zoom in on the Ipad

This is both my iPhone4 and my iPad loaded with the same map on
the same spot at full zoom. iPad is a little bigger but not as much
as I thought. The main difference is that you see more of the map.
This created the illusion in my mind that the iPad zoom level was
much higher. The scale on both of them reads 173 feet, but the
scale on the iPad is 12mm wide and the scale on the iPhone is 10mm
wide. So you are looking at maybe a 20% difference at most.

I'm not up to date on all of these electronic toys. ( my kids say I'm still living in the 19th. century) Anyways My wife gave me a Kindel for my birthday. Are there any lake apps for it?
