The Navionics phone app.

I have an android phone, but I am certain that the same app is available for iPhones, too. For $10.00 a year, it is amazing how much depth and contour data is on the app.

Takes a bit to learn how to use it, but you can practise from your easy chair. If you don't already have it, I suggest you, at least, download the trial copy and check out all of the local waters that are covered.

Areas that I NEVER thought would be on there show up with details of bottom changes that will be helpful.

Will it work like a chart plotter as you are running down the river.

Yes it will. I used it on my iPad to fish from a buddy's pontoon boat.

Sweet that can save alot of people money. Very affordable way to have a chart plotter.

It takes up soooo much data! I had to quit using it because of the high data bill it would cause.
