I have Navionics installed on a chip in my fish finder. I really like it. I have most of the lakes on the chip in the USA and Canada on it. Then I have detailed Lake info on all of the lakes in Minnesota I fish. I also have a dedicated GPS with Topo info for the upper Midwest. This is how I navigate up there. I bring a map and compass too but never come out of the pack. |

DeanL: "I probably spend way too much time with my method but it works for me. I have the navionics app on my Ipad, which I do not lug into the BW. I have found that the app is pretty accurate as far as structure goes and good but not great on exact location. What I've done is printed screenshots of the lakes or portions of the lakes we plan to fish. From there I've gotten a GPS coordinate from the app that will get me close to the structure we're interested in fishing and then write it on my paper map. When in the BW I use the coordinate to get us in the area and then start scouting the structure out from there. " I like that method a lot. I'm a Navionics user as well. I have an older Samsung tablet that I have dedicated for this purpose. I find the accuracy to be pretty close. Wing dams on the river are marked with a black line that juts out from shoreline. My depth finder corresponds almost exactly as I drift over those lines. I also have one of the Vexilar Sonarphone t-box things so I get my sonar on the bottom portion of my tablet and the maps up top. |

I'd like to have a single source for navigation and fishing (yes I will still bring a map for back-up/emergency etc). Thanks in advance for your experiences and advice! Saberboys Navionics |
