are any of you guys using navionics was looking at it for my android and use a cheaper fish finder for my home built flat bottom and flat back canoe

[frasco]

What does Navionics have to do with a fish finder? Would you mind using punctuation in your sentences? Btw a question usually ends with a question mark.

[Frosty]

What does Btw mean. oh sorry... ?

[frasco]

Har har har!

[timbecht]

navionics has lake maps and gps. and i can use lake maps to get me close to certian spots and then use the fish finder to get right on my spot. navionics also has waypoints

[timbecht]

and no reason to be rude

[frasco]

Thank you for the punctuation!

I use Navionics on my smartphone with a 3.7" screen and I think it's a great tool and should most likely fit your needs. It's also a bargain, I paid 10€ for the whole of Scandinavia, you can't really go wrong with that pricing.

Until you hit bottom!

one last? to use navionics out on the water do you have to use internet or 3g or does it just pull up the lake maps

[frasco]

When you install and run the app for the first time it downloads the whole map (500 MB in my case) so I recommend to do that with wifi. After that you don't need a connection to use the app.

$199 for the new google nexus 7 inch tab, has all features and tabs do make calls as well rite?
others are coming with new models too but think i want this one..

[frasco]

Yeah the price is pretty awesome. Hopefully it's similarly priced in Europe.

are the apps as developped as on a mac platform ? i dont have an ipad yet, pads will be part of my navigation system if only satellite internet would be at par with on land internet.
I use skitrack on my iphone, and garmin stuff. One of the greatest potential is security on and away from the boats.
