Navionics for your Droid Phone - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thanks Jimmyz for this post. I got the app to try out and found it useful in NPH over the weekend. The export of data and having it open in Google Earth with a Navionics logo is pretty cool. This $10 app is now going to cost me a liquipel coating or a lifeproof case.

I'm looking forward to trying it out myself more than just in and around the city. The graphics are pretty nice also.

Now all we need is a sonar app and we don't need the fish finders

If I was to purchase the app and had to replace my phone would I need to purchase the app a second time?

If it's an iphone/IOS device it will permanently be linked to your Apple ID, hence buy it once and keep it.

If you have something like a droid and you have a google account you can download the app strait to your google account so when you get a new phone all the apps pics etc... will be downloaded strait to your phone

I just downloaded the app........one word: WOW

My only concern now is the battery life on my phone

It's a nice little app. Have you scoped out any bodies of water near you to see the depths that it shows. The one I have shows depth changes, and all that fun stuff. I compared it to my new Lowrance FF that I got and the information is the same.

For those of us non-techy here, can you give us an example of a practical application? So, you see depth and gridlines on a GPS map to target certain areas on a lake or in the ocean? Is that right?
