Headed up to GB in August to fish out of a guides boat. Want to know if anybody can recommend a good app for tracking routes and waypoints so when I head back up with my own boat and electronics I can retrace the local knowledge gained by fishing with the guide?

Location: Ashland WI		Navionics app is only $10 and works very well.

Sometimes my gps on it does not pick up well at slower speeds though.

Location: Gilberts IL/Rhinelander WI		Some of the guides I've been out with were fine with me bringing my HDS unit ,and using a 12v outlet in their boat.
Otherwise, as stated, Navionics is probably your best bet.

Location: Metro		Just pay for the $10 Navionics. I use it way more than I thought I ever would even when I am not fishing.

Me as well.

It is always in my pocket, so I can "scout" whenever I would like.

Done and done. Bought Navionics. From what I can tell without having it on the water yet, it should do the trick.
Thanks for the help.

You are not kidding my friend. I find myself looking at the map Here and there quite often off the water.

I wonder how accurate the sonar chart is the new option. As far as I can tell they use older maps and some of the depths aren't real accurate. Found myself looking for a drop off the other day that wasn't where it should be at all.
