There's a lotta smart people on here so I'll try asking this here first. I need to upgrade my phone and was thinking about an Iphone. My wife and daughter as always raving about theirs.
I was wondering - are there any good GPS Apps for an Iphone that would allow me to use my phone for GPS waypoints collections? Possible map/charting options?
Anybody run across any?
Thanks
There are apps for gps. Grab your wife's phone and search for an app before you get the phone. I know my EVO phone uses lots of battery. May need to make sure your boat has a power outlet.
this one looks like a possibility...
iNavX™ - Marine Navigation App for iPhone and iPad
I can't say about the I phone but I have a Android, a Samsung mesmerize. Awesome is all I can say. I have been using an app called GPS now. Seems to work really good. I can save waypoints and then load them right onto google earth on my home PC. On my phone I can pull up google earth and veiw my waypoints right on it.
MotionX is my favorite by far. Can mark it, snap a picture of it to save as the waypoint, etc. Got it last fall, lots to do with it I havent figured out yet. I can tell you though that you can see a visual on my phone of the structure you are fishing that is now under 12 ft of water on Sville that was taken at winter pool level. :) You can also look at the view from each of my deer stands. I also just recently got the navionics app. But havent monkeyed with it yet!
Correction my app is called GPS EssentialsQuote:
