Lake of the Woods Morson Fishing Reports by Tolen's

[Tolens]

Sorry , Yes thats the app I was talking about

[Hoffer]

I like it.

It worked great to get us around manitou and the depths were there and everything. I also go to another Ontario lake in the Fall - and the depth and markings werent as good. However, if you want this for LOW, I am sure it would all be there. Its a relatively inexpensive download...so I would certainly give it a try. I think its a great value. Again, it will take a lot off your battery when using it...but its worth it.

[Tolens]

Hoffer

I did get the app and it does work great

[Hoffer]

Glad to hear!

I mean for the value it essentially turns your Iphone into a GPS handheld unit for 10 bucks or so.

I am waiting for a month or 2 to get the next Iphone. I wonder if the 4G and possibly extra battery life will really make that Navionics app even better!

So, heres the important question...did you catch any fish?

[KirtH]

WAREHAM, Massachusetts – Navionics, the world leader in electronic navigation, has launched the highly anticipated In-App Purchase of the Nav Module for its award winning Navionics iPhone and iPad HD Applications.

The Nav Module expands the navigation capabilities of the Navionics App by providing users the ability to enter routes and analyze vital details such as estimated time of arrival, distance to arrival, heading to waypoints and fuel consumption. Editing can be done underway while receiving real time route data, or planned off the water, syncing to your other mobile devices.

Boaters can elect to upgrade to Nav Module via Apple’s In-App Purchase for a one-time charge of $1.99/€1.59 on iPhone and $4.99/€3.99 on iPad with most recent software version of 3.2.

The Nav Module is tremendously easy to use which means less time on the dock and more time enjoying your on-the-water adventure.

[Hoffer]

Such a bargain!

I will upgrade.

Thanks for the info KirtH!!

Much appreciated.

[Jnoel - Navionics Rep]

Thanks Kurt for the info on the NAvionics Nav Module. I downloaded it and it has been very helpful over the Labor day weekend. And yes fish where in the box.....

I assume you need cell phone service ? How many bars ? Do cell phone work on Manitou ? Thanks just trying to get up to speed , was thinking about getting a cell but have limited comprehension

[BartmanMN]

You do not need Cell service for this app, only GPS coverage. The only thing you would need Cell service for would be if you want to overlay the lake with Google, Bing, or Terrain maps. This is not needed to see the lake contours.

[Hoffer]

Thats the nice thing...no cell needed. Runs off your built in GPS in the phone. Its pretty accurate too.

[Tolens]

Hoffer

Yes we did get fish that day , had to work at em .
