I have a Motorola Devour, and while its not on the supported phones list, I emailed navionics and asked if it would work. They told me as long at the operating system was 1.6 or higher, it should work. Well my phone is dumb, and it wont download the charts once its downloaded. Just gotta get a new phone now!

Is anyone using this on a Sprint LG Optimus? I just got this phone, and can't believe I just bumped into this thread. How awesome is that! The Optimus runs Andriod 2.2, and I see the Navionics app is available on the App Market. Thanks!

Google's Marketplace has a policy. If you uninstall an purchased app within 24 hours, your money is refunded.

Go ahead and download it (be sure the phone is connected to WiFi first), and try it out. Literally nothing to lose.

I have the Incredible with the 2GB card that comes with the phone. Will I need a bigger memory card for it to work? Also, what happens if it is downloaded and you get a bigger micro sd card later, can the info be transfered? Thanks

on my hero, i had a 2 gig card in it. I had about 40 pictures on the card and about 40 songs from my itunes account also. There was not enough room left on the card to download the navionics. I bought an 8 gig card, copied everything to the computer and then back to the 8 gig card and then downloaded the navionics app and everything is working fine.

I believe you would still be able to move the files to your computer from the original card and then copy back to the larger card and it would still work...it is just a file system and not an application.

Just downloaded the Navioncs Lakes_US_N Version 4.3 for Droid Incredible. One word of caution, even with 54.0Mbps excellent wireless it still took 25-30 mins to download, plus an addtional 10-15 mins for the maps.

>>>> stay away from your phone while this is downloading, if you accidentally tap the screen or hit any button at all, it will stop the download, and you get to start over (this was painful)<<<

Having said that, the APP looks amazing and I can't wait to get out this weekend and check out it's accuracy. Even if its only accruate within 25-50 feet (which i think its much better than that), it looks to be well worth the monies.

Listening to complaints about battery drain i just ordered an extended battery for the incredible that gets 3-4 days of use. Any greenies out there want to create elaborate solar mounts go ahead, i'll use your share of coal!

Can't wait till version 5 comes out!

I found this out the hard way as well - then realized I was sitting 10 feet away from my wireless router... turned on wifi and I had the app in a jiff... :-)

Great app - as you mentioned, a battery eater.

Good Luck!

hunter322,

I've got the 4GB card that it came with. I got rid of a few junk apps before I did the Navionics install. I would recommend getting rid of as many free apps as you can live without, do the install, and see how much memory you got left.

Navionics support guy said they would be open to receiving feedback on any phones that are not listed as compatible.

best of luck!

The Navionics mobile application is currently only avaiable for smart devices running iOS and Android operating systems. If the market for devices running Windows Phone 7 grows large enough, I would imagine Navionics will develop a mobile application for that operating system as well.

Enjoy your new phone!

This app works well on my LG Mytouch 3G. I'd say it's accurate to within 10-20 feet. It doesn't have a ton of detail on a couple of the larger lakes like Mille Lacs. But it did put me write on the spot i wanted yesterday.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.

      I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage.  Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.   Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
