Sea Floor Mapping

I am trying to find a good sight(since I don't have a FF) where I can view the ocean floor with all the terrain, features, everything.
Does anyone have a good place to go to find it so I am not just launching blindly!
Thanks ahead of time

I have this also and it's worth every penny. You save about $130 not having to buy the chip for you fish finder.

The only problem I have with buying this for my phone is I am pretty hard on my phones and very sadly they make phones water proof but they don't make phones that float

Sure they do. Take a piece of pool noodle and stick it in a ziplock bag and seal your phone in there. waterproof and it floats. I can work my touchscreen through the plastic, no problem. Or you can get the app, take screenshots and email then to yourself and print then if it makes you feel safer. But thats the best that there is right there. Lotta bang for your buck. Plus it has all mpa's outlined

You can point to an area of interest on your map, hit info and find up to the minute tide, wind and weather forecasts for that spot. Its really a great tool

I put my cell phone in one of these, they work better than ziplock, I found out the hard way. Once in this you can attach the pool noodle to the case and it will float. I usually hang mine around my neck though.

One of the coolest features in the Navionics app is the fact that it will tell you exactly where you're at using your phones gps. The only drawback to this is that the gps will eat up your battery life, because of this I now carry two batteries. Regardless, at $9.99 its worth every penny.
