The contours won't be as accurate as the Navionics app, but you could try out the DNR Lakefinder App which is free.

If you have any other questions be sure to check out the Computer and Electronics forum further down the page for more info that might help with your new phone.

Pay the money and buy navionics. Or you can just be a cheap ace and buy a android phone, pay 80 bucks a month and not spend the few extra dollars to have sweet gps navigation that will put you on that drop off where the huge eyes hang out,

without having to drill 16 holes with your 1999 jiffy 10inch auger you are to cheap to buy new blades for.

Better Maps? Hard to say. But, if you already have a smartphone then you get a better and larger screen with the same maps that IMHO is much easier to navigate. The phone GPSr will not be quite as good as some handheld GPSr's, but good enough for most people. Most people with a smartphone already carry it, so it's not another thing to carry, and will probably have a decent camera built in, too.

If I were to choose between buying a handheld and map chip OR starting a new contract and purchasing a phone specifically to do this, get the handheld. You get a lot of other functions with the smartphone, though, but you will have a minthly fee tied to it.

I have a handheld with the Lakemaster maps and a smartphone with the navionics. I like to compare between the 2 when it comes to looking for spots. So far, I have been more impressed with the Navionics maps.

my contours on the navionics match exactly to the ones on my handheld.....

Sorry what I meant to say is both my phone app AND my navionics card in my handheld GPS match up perfectly as far as contours, ive never had it tell me im in one depth and actually been deeper or shallower, its right on....

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
