Navionics iPhone App

In one of the moderated forums, someone raised a question about the Navionics iPhone app. I posted some comments and screenshots there, but I think it makes more sense to put them here.

I've included three views from the app. The first is some waypoints on a lake where no lake map is available in the Navionics archive. The second shows some waypoints I plotted for GPS coordinates at Greers Ferry near South Fork. The third shows a more detailed version of roughly the same area.

For $10 bucks, the app does three good things. It can be used if you don't have a GPS-enabled sonar, it's great when you're fishing in someone else's boat, but have GPS information you'd like to use, and it's a nifty backup to your other GPS.

nice app burghman...now that I have some coordinates I need an app to put them in and I believe this is the one

Yep, good that you posted it and if it weren't for someone on here telling me about it I'd not known, I love mine, best $14 I've spent on an app. Think it might be noted also you can change the land views around the map also, to show ramps, roads leading to the lake, or even places to get out of the wind and fish once you see the lay of the land where hills might obstruct wind from certain directions. It show's submerged roads and much more. It's a really neat app. for Iphone users. I only wish as some have noted on here that all lakes were shown the same as some are just all blue with no contour lines.

Also forgot to say it shows your location and movement while on the water with a red arrow.

That's good info. Thanks for sharing that.

I've got the app as well and it's great on places were it actually has a map of the lake.

I used mine when I walleye fished with a guide at Bull Shoals. AFTER I ask him first, and he agreed!!!

I have it on my android apps also. have not used it much yet but I'm going to use it next week. Think it was about 15.00 also on android

Will eat battery. Gps is on even when you put it to sleep. You have to kill the app to shut it down.

Ive got the app but I havent been able to figure out how to mark a waypoint. :confused:

Arkman, if you are talking about putting a marker on a spot (looks like a blue push pin), tap the screen and you should see what looks like crosshairs appear with a question mark in blue on the right. Tap the question mark and it will take you to another screen where you will see "marker" on the upper right. Touch "marker" and then at the bottom touch "add". You will have that place marked.

Hope that helps a little.

I've not had battery draining problems outa my IPhone when using and as for marki g spots move finger across screen to get crosshairs then put where you want and tap screen once. A page will then come up and in upper right hand portion will say mark, click that and remember you can click on where it says marker #1 and label it as whatever u want then just hit add at bottom of screen and u have it.

It doesnt help a little, it helps a lot!

Thank you!

I take a picture. It marks the location. send it to someone (Yourself or friend)and it will pull up google earth and show the location. Along with lat and long

I read this thread and bought the app. I love technology!
