I wasn't able to edit post #1 to update the photo links and received a few private message asking about them. So I reposted post #1 with updated photo link. That's why the info are the same and the text, verbatim.

Does the Navionics map overlay include depth, including the Bays and Channels? Their site doesn't really give a lot of screen shots to evaluate.

Sure, I've got a FF telling me my depth when out there, just thinking it might be nice to know the depth if I'm targeting a specific area. ( hooping and amount of rope required, and how tired I can expect to be from pulling in an area that may be 75' deeper than I thought

The Navonics map shows depth contours but not a great amount of detail. I do not find this feature to be particularly useful. It does a good job of tracking your position on the map, however.

The most useful feature for me is the ability to mark way points. You can even take a photo of a fish caught in a particular place and that becomes a way point. You can then use the app to guide yourself back to that way point on a future trip.

This app is certainly harder to use than a good GPS or fishfinder/GPS combo but for less than $15 it is hard to beat.
