Any advice for an Android phone app for finding waypoints with lake contours?

 ??? With the Navionics app don't you have to have cell phone signal? Little to no cell signal in many places I fish.

Assuming the "Boating USA HD" version?

It uses your phone's internal GPS, mine works well in the boondocks. Same with a tablet with no phone service. The question is how well your lake is mapped, those with sonarcharts are really accurate. The ones using government charts are not so good.

I believe that's the one. Last time I bought a subscription it was around $15.

You need to download the maps before you go out
