USA inland river charts for Android phone?

[kroberts]

Hi,

I'm looking for an app and charts to see inland rivers in the central USA. Particularly the Missouri River in South Dakota.

I'm interested in shoreline, public boat ramps, slow/no wake zones, dam locations and potential fuel stops. This is not considered navigable water so the boat traffic will probably be based on a depth finder.

I would like this to be on an Android phone, which of course isn't a real GPS and not a real navigation device, so I would prefer the chart to be "offline" meaning it exists on my phone so I can look at it as though it were a paper map even though the "you are here" arrow is missing.

It would be an added feature if the map integrated with Google Maps so I could see gas stations which are near but not on the water.

This is just so I can find a gas station, and know when the dams are coming, and how to get to the nearest boat ramp in case of impending bad weather. I have a 6-place speedy hovercraft and plan to cruise the length of it over time. I don't need fancy extras and I won't be trying to steer in the fog. I don't need depth charts because it's a non-displacement hull.

Is anyone using something they find especially handy for this? If it's not available on an Android app, what low-cost device do you recommend?

Thanks.

Ken, I designed a 4,000 SF passive solar house in Ray ND, outside of Williston. Let me know if you plan to be in that area.

I'm a registered architect there now and hope to be doing projects out that way more often.
