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!

@ jonboatjunkie

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.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
