Does anyone have the navionics app for their iPhone if so do you suggest it for finding structure in lakes?

And does it pinpoint exactly where you are on the lake?

I don't have an iPhone but my Grandson does. He only has the freebie GPS ap on it but we have used it more than once to find our way. It is more than good enough for that. Presumably the Navionics will be no worse and probably better. It will also have depths. Try this: look about half way between Fox Island and Big Bay Point. You should be able to pick out Long Shoal, a strip of shallow water surrounded by much deeper water. Hope this helps.

Thorahguy I found it I think an the navionics app I just downloaded it and it looks pretty good but I see a few differences between the gps version and the lake Simcoe depth chart map that I believe is linked to this forum. Which one do I believe lol

Also when I see these shoals and what not where is the ideal place to try and set up? Along the edge of it? On top of it? Below it?

I think now is the time when we suggest you read the Fishing Tips at the top of the page. They are species specific.

Cool! Bob, how does it fare in regards to smaller lakes in this area? I know there are far to many to chart and store'em all, but medium-small, like Dalrymple and Sparrow

Hard tell which lakes are on I have small lakes show up and some larger do not. I purchased the more expensive program and it updates regularly. I find it good. Used it in the states and B.C. and worked well.

Good to know. It's always fun to have another toy to remind me precisely all the places I get skunked

Bob, how do all you old school guys figure out all this new tech., like on what to purchase and how to use it? I know how to use my GPS for hounds and my ice67 but when it comes to phones I have no idea on how you learn all that stuff??
