Re: Anyone Use Chartings Apps for iPhone/iPad?

I personally use Navionics as my primary GPS for fishing fairly narrow channels. It works great for me navigating at night through a 15'-30' channel. It does chew through the battery very quickly though, so unless you can keep your device plugged it, then it would be of little use.
I find the resolution to be very good as well. Actually here is a screenshot of 138ft zoom of a channel than I commonly use. I just keep arrow in the center and have never had any issues...If someone needed extreme accuracy or any closer zoom than what this screenshot shows, then this app is not for you.

If you want a screenshot of your particular lake or waterway, just let me know!

I utilize couple of apps, Navionics and Flytomap. This is depending on the area you are. Navionics is quite expensive, flytomap is containing full world for 10 bucks. however you should look their viewer.flytomap.com to understand if the details are available in your area. the look and feel is nice. let me know!

I use Navionics. First had it for my iPhone and then switched to iPad. Works great. I keep it plugged in to the 12V as I drive. The screen size is great for night time driving. Worth the $50 in my opinion

I'm using flytomap, much simpler to use and having Park data too.

I used both Flytomap and Navionics, and I agree with previous comments it depends on where you are. In some area Navionics is having better details, in some other Flytomap is the best.
:confused:

I usually fish in the New England area and I frankly prefer the Flytomap there as they have better details on the sea part.
Also, as I am fishing at sea but also on lakes, I used their Allinone app with both my iphone and ipad and just 9,99 for all.

P.S.: I also suggest to see their online viewer, you can see what you get.
