I downloaded Navionics and it worked great and then my free trial expired. Was trying it last weekend and for some reason I couldn't get the depth to show up, it was just showing the body of water. Anyone have any luck or recommendations for free apps? I'm sure that some are not 100% accurate but it'd be nice to have a point of reference and then sound out the hole to be more accurate.
I agree that navionics is worth the one time investment. Was this a new lake that you couldn't see depth for? The coverage is pretty good for all medium to large lakes in my area but I just found one large reservoir with no contours, just displays the outline of the lake.
Navionics is $33 a year for their newest app, is their an older one that has a one time $15 payment that I am missing?
I didn't see a $33 one. I downloaded the Navionics 'Boating' app as it was $15. I think there is a US/Canada one that is $25. I've never seen an app in the app store that costs you a yearly subscription fee but maybe I'm wrong.
I just purchased the navionics app last week, and went to a lake far off the beaten path, thinking it would work. My phone had ‘no service’, and nothing but my camera worked. I guess you need to be within cell phone range?
Nope. The maps should be downloaded to your phone so you can see them without any service (you likely wont get gps without cell service). The nothing but your camera working sounds like a phone issue, not an app issue. What phone do you have?
Apple SE. I was hoping I could see where exactly on the ice I was standing. No bars, no service, no GPS.
Iphones dont have a very accurate GPS, so dont get discouraged.They also need signal to work.Thats one of the many reasons I made the jump to a Samsung/android.
The first 2 years with Navionics I paid $9.99 for USA only. Last month I had to renew and it was a new App called Boating USA or something and it was $15 USA, they have a US and Canada version for like $25 or $30.Are you telling me that if I download all the maps for the areas I fish I won't need to pay the fee next year? Because mine is an annual fee. Not sure where you guys are getting the Lifetime prices.I have some maps downloaded but never tried them without my subscription, plus they made me use the new App. So not sure the maps went have went over...
