I want to buy a gps with a lake map that mounts on the handle bars of an atv. I have never owned a gps so thats why Im looking for some input. Thanks
-
I have an older gps unit. I think it is a garmin h2o with the lakemaster chip. A lot slower than the new ones but I don't think I would ever go icefishing without it. No more drilling hundreds of holes looking for the edges of dropoffs. One of my friends uses his eye phone with what he calls a lke app. Whatever that means. I'm pretty not tech savy. I still like to bring a compase when I am in new ares hunting

After fisshing devils lake last ice last spring I want one, Theres so much structure out there it would be nice to find water depth, and mark way points. Almost everybody out there with a four wheeler had one mounted on the handle bars.
-
I'm going to use my iPhone with a app called navionics it has every lake map in the USA and as soon as there's ice going to test it out
App was 10 bucks but still I can study lake maps wherever I have Internet or wifi
-
Navionics is a great little program. I've used it for several years.
-
I'm going to try the phone app too but I'm going to get the USA and Canada for15bucks
-
Here's a link to a good youtube video of the app.

Tks for posting the link, helped me get more out of my app. I have been using this all fall and winter.
-
I just actually downloaded this today! Look forward to using it on some new lakes. I didn't know you can see what OTHER PEOPLE have put in for fishing hot spots. I looked at the lake I plan on trying tomorrow, and 2 different people have marked their crappie holes. (of course the 2 spots that I saw on the map and was going to try...)

You don't have to let others see but that is an option.
-
spearfoot, i dont know much about them but I feel garmin is the leader is gps units
-
I really like my Garmin Colorado. I do have a hard time with the small screen size. :nerd:
-
Is navionics the one to use?
I heard the price for download went up considerably. Any current feedback on this product is greatly appreciated.
-
Ive downloaded the navionices app, in my mind its ok for 15 bucks on my phone. I dont feel you can zoom in as much as I can with my lowrance H20. I tried it out on Leech for eelpout fest, the guide that plowed us a spot said that the front of my house is 16 ft an the rear of my house is in 19-20 ft. according to my phone he was right on. Yhe omly thing I dont like is its more pixilated than a good gps unit, dont know if thats the phone or the download. Im still gona invest in a new hand held unit my H20 wont last for ever.

Funny this just popped up. I just downloaded the navionics app to my iPhone. Price was $10 bucks. I was on a lake recently with Wyofish and his phone app (Navionics) had a much better lake map than my Lakemaster on my Humminbird.
-
well I tried to download it onto the new smartphone that I got solely for the navionics purpose. It does not work on android phones unfortunately. I will be returning this wonderful piece of technology.
-
What kind of phone do u have? Mines a samsung galaxy 3 works fine with the app.
-
s 4 mini. While trying the download It went to a page that said navionics is currently not available for android. I checked into it and I guess it should work. must be a temporary deal.
-
I have Navionics on my Iphone 4 and it works great!
I use it most when I ice fish.
-
I have the app on my iphone and its awesome. like HD I use it mainly for ice fishing. but it has been acting funny lately, probably because I didn't have the best service. I hope to use it again this weekend on leech
