Anybody know which app to download that shows lake contour lines?

Navionics Boating USA....

I think several of the Navionics Marine and Marine and Lakes were recently renamed to combine them.

There are several different phone apps. Some are free and others are different prices. They don't tell which ones have the lake contour lines. If I have to pay for the app I wanna make sure I get the right one

Navionics is trying to squeeze blood from a turnip with the latest update. Gonna be anothet $15/year for OK charts.

I really do like the Navionics Boating USA on Android for an overview of lakes, but I have to question the Sonar Updates.

Accurate maps are not easy to create with standard data, but with dozens or hundreds of users updating the system, the information should be more accurate, not less.

There are spots that are off in depth essentially by a factor of 3 for Belews Lake, and the update increases the depth error. If real data is being used, there is an error that needs to be corrected in the processing.

I realize the depth and contours change with the pool level, but if the shoreline is fairly accurate, the depth should be more accurate with updates, not less.

My major gripe is this, that and small lakes are usually overlooked.

I love the app for inshore coastal, haven't used it anywhere else. I know for the price you get wayyy more than you are paying for. If you want more detail and accuracy you'll have to pay the price to get it. It is a good app for good general use, that's all I need.

 

[Fishscalz]

I would not mind paying a bit more to get significantly better accuracy, but you'll need to make your own, which is what I do.

The other pay maps are not significantly better that Navionics from the ones I have looked into.

I do agree, for the price, there is a lot of bang for the buck.

I don't know if it's exactly what you're looking for, but check out the Fishidy App. They are a fast growing fishing network with over 8,000 mapped waterways. Also on the web at Fishidy.com.

I was going to check them out, but no thanks....strange terms of use with Fishidy....why would multilevel marketing and sex offenders be mentioned in terms of use, in regards to fishing maps?
