I have very good news about the High Def maps for LOW on the Mobile Navionics App. I sent Navionics a question why the North chip had the HD contours for LOW, but the Mobile application did not. Here is their response.

Todd,

Thank you for contacting Navionics. The Navionics Mobile application is a combination of both the Marine database and the HotMaps freshwater database. There are some areas that are duplicated on both types of charts such as Lake of the Woods. Currently the default view is the Marine database. This is going to be changed this month. Unfortunately I do not have a specific time-frame but at the end of the month, beginning of next month reload the map for the area and please advise me if you do not see this change.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I was shown this app by my cousin a while ago, If it has LOW and N. MN, I wonder what volume of lakes it has around Ely? How small of a lake will it show and does it have lakes within the BWCAW? That would be huge since the Sportsman's Connection books do not show those lakes.

I have the original Navionics Android app. on my EVO 4G, works great.

Is there any value in dropping the cash on this updated version? Simply having an HD map doesn't make it seem worthwhile to me. If the lake maps are updated with more current depths/markers/etc, then it might make sense.

Thanks!

If you have an Android phone, search the Marketplace for a free app called "ShootMe". It's not available for all phones, but give it a shot.

Basically you shake your phone, it takes a picture of whatever is on your screen, and then you can upload the picture wherever you want.

I have the U.S. North one I downloaded this summer, I liked it. But I lost my phone, and it wasn't available on the market anymore (and I shot them an email, they said I couldn't get it back even though I payed for it). So I bought the USA one, I like the layout and look a little better but it doesn't show the depths at all! I have to click on the contour lines and then it'll tell me. It's a hassle. My phone is a Nexus S. Thankfully the US North became re-available for me to download, so that's the one I use now over the newer USA one. Why would you make a lake map and have the depths not readily visible??

So I downloaded USA Navionics for my DroidX today, I only had 15 min. to get a refund so I looked at Burntside. I know a few of you were talking about HD maps, did I download the wrong version? It showed hardly any definition, like 20' intervals or more. I got a refund but maybe I was using it wrong or had the wrong version.... any ideas? I can't afford a GPS and chip so would love it if the maps were in more detail.

Once the App is downloaded, you can download areas of interest for more detail.Also, in the settings make sure you turn off Map Overlay so it will show the depths and and some areas of structure.

Check out this link. It lists all of the lakes that are available. Very few are actually in HD. The ones high lighted in red are HD.

I wouldn't day "very few" are in HD, rather "a small percentage" are in HD. I counted 50 lakes in HD from A-C, and that still leaves D-Z. You do pass by a lot of lakes that are not, but that simply means there are thousands of lakes, with hundreds of them in HD!!! What's not to like for that kind of money?

I recently downloaded the app for my droid incredible, when I go search lakes everything works ok. But last weeekend I was at Mille Lacs, I saved a spot,and now when I go to favorites and the spot I saved it comes up with the blue pin but it is on a blank blue screen? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, Troy

    • 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.
    • Chef boyardee pizza from the box!
