Best Lake/River Depth Contour App for iPhone 5??


Fisherman For a Lifetime

Question

Got an iPhone 5 & would like to get a detailed App for Winter depth contours while driving on the Ice.

I searched for "Lakemaster" but does not exist.

Navionics has a USA Marine & Lakes, but want a Mn. specific & hopefully 1' or 2' resolutions. Really want it for the St. Croix River, but other lakes as well.

Does anyone have one? Like it?

Any recommendations??

Thanks.

How does it compare to the Android Navionics? I just downloaded it and am not the least bit impressed. Comparing it to lakemaster on Mille lacs, forest lake and Winni it is not even close! My Lowrance hand held went to the dumps and my lowrance chip is worthless so upsetting to say the least?

Talking to me? You downloaded it to an Android or iPhone? I do not have Android, I have an iPhone 5.

What's wrong with Winnie? I went over to Winnie and zoomed in. It's 1' contours, which is the same as the Lakemaster chip I have in my boat. I've fished Winnie a lot for 48 years.

This one is fantastic so far looking around at home, we'll see if it's accurate on the water.

I am talking to anyone who has used it What does everyone think of it compared to the other mapping available on GPS units.The Winni map on my Android looks the same as my co workers IPhone app. It has decent detail it looks similar to mine. But for instance Forest Lake in Washington county. I was comparing my app to the lakemaster Map I have. No where near the same detail as Lakemaster. I guess we can't expect the best on our smartphones compared to a GPS unit that is designed for that purpose. For $10 not to mention.

I recently purchased the Navionics Iphone app, and I have the lakemaster chip for my lowrance units. The phone app does not appear to be as accurate as the lowrance/lakemaster unit but this could be the differnce of a phone vs gps, not sure

Each chip/software is lake specific. You need the chip that is best for where you fish. Sometimes LM is better, sometimes Navionics is better. I depends on the lake. Mille Lacs? LM is better. Vermilion? Navionics is better. In the metro, Spring lake? Navionics wins.

I use both chips in my boat. Depends on where I'm fishing. It would be nice to have a single chip answer but there isn't.
