Lakemaps for I Pad?

[basssmasher*]

i saw where they were capable with smartphones, and supposedly with Ipads, but do I go with the Marine maps or perhaps a different app? ANY info is appreciated!

Get the Navionics USA. My cuz has it on his iPad, it's awesome!!!

Make sure you get the "LAKE" maps not the marine as the marine is for navigation and the lake is for depth contours.

Your a bit off. Navionics has discontinued the old Apps and now have the new Marine & Lakes App HD for iPad or iPhone. You can get USA & CAN or just USA alone.

On the Androids im not sure yet, but my buddy bought Navionics last week and he got the Lakes North version.

Andy, will it being the marine version affect its quality?

[fisherman-andy]

No. It does both Marine and Lakes. The App no longer stores maps like it did with the old App version which was huge can take a long time to update or download due to your wifi connection speeds. The new App is fairly small like 15mbs or so and can be downloaded over wifi or 3G fairly quick.

However for each lake map you want to load you'll have to search and preload it so that it remembers. Once it loads it stores it on the phone. If you dont preload it first and you go to an area that doesnt have data connectivity or coverage you wont be able to load your lake map.

I have the Marine & Lakes version for iPhone USA & CAN.

Navionics for iPad, handsdown. Why would I, living in the Upper Midwest, care about Marine charts for Europe or Florida? Even if and when I try deep sea fishing, I'd be paying a guide to take me where the fish are. If you have iPad with 3G, then you are set.

I got the fly to maps and it doesn't have all the maps but it's nothing fancy . Is it the Sam as avionics?

[Hardyboy]

navionics in my opinion is way more in depth

[Roomylegend]

Wish I would have asked sooner hopefully I can change my spots to this new app. Should have asked sooner. Are they as good as a hand bought ?? That is my question but love the I pad lol!

Does the iPad have GPS? Just wondering, I have an Android phone but my wife wants to get an iPad down the road.

I think it depends on the model of iPad you go with.

I have the Flyto app on my iPhone and use it to zero in on contours and depth. Then I drill and drop the Vex in. So far it's fairly accurate. Some smaller but popular metro lakes don't have contour detail. The second thing I use it for is to mark spots and notes about our outing. My son and I reserve the iPad for Netflix in the clam! Nothing keeps a 10 year old on the ice longer between fish like Gumby dambit.

The I pad has gps if it has 3G if it doesn't then it wont have gps. Yeah I have the sme problem with fly ton maps as not all lakes have map depth. But does navionics have all the maps?

[whitebassman]

so far I haven't had problems with maps on navionics. I'm sure some small and obscure lakes it may not. but navionics for sure is as good as you'll get for now on the ipad. I'd like lakemaster to do the same, but who knows. For the small price of navionics vs. chip version of the same, its worth a try. Trust me, you'll like it better then flytomaps, which I have also and never use anymore.

Ok I got the navionics and I want to switch the fly to map coordinates to it but the don't Aline right. If it is 46 degrees by 08' 13". How would u put that into avionics?
