Re: GPS I was using Ifinder H20, but have been using the navionics lakes app for my droid here lately. It works pretty well but I'm in the market for a good GPS/Sonar unit.

Re: GPS sugestions I use a Garman Oregon series 450T I like it but is closer to $500 You can load My Hunting GPS Maps on it. Invaluable for hunting the western states. Duckdon

Re: GPS sugestions i have a magellen xl. had it for several years now works great. kinda bulky though. now days you can get a basic Garmin Etrex for $100 bucks that is within 15ft accuracy. anything that can lock on to GLONASS will be much better and have higher accuracy.

Re: GPS sugestions I use Backcountry Nav Pro on my phone. My gps took a dump and I doubt I buy another. $10 well spent.

Re: GPS sugestions I have 2 60-series garmins w/ topo maps. They are pretty good units and not too $$$ now. Phone is good at times but I don't want to try to drive at wot before daylight and look at a little i-phone screen and hope the sattelite stays locked. Just my 2 cents.

GPS sugestions Probably just an android app, and not available for I-Phones. Could be wrong though.

Re: GPS sugestions It has both topo and sat, plus some other option I never use. It also works with MyTopo.com so you can import custom maps.
I couldn't find it in the "app store" either, must not be available on apple. I have an Android.

Re: GPS sugestions navionics on my iphone. US, inland and coastal. it was $10 well spent, and like mentioned before, you can download the area map before leaving and it will be available even without service.

Re: GPS sugestions Motion X GPS for iPhones allows use of GPS when not in cell range. Download maps then can use them when u don't have cell service. Access to NOAA charts, satellite, topo, and other. Awesome app and would recommend it
