That's awesome. You could drive into the lake and find fish tooI use a Lowrance HDS-5 Gen 2 with Lowrance topo mapping. It works great and has a large screen. Marine grade totally waterproof, permanent mount.
I go that route too. You can pre-select your areas and download them while connected to wi-fi to use offline. The satellite images and terrain maps stay available for 28 days or so.I just use google maps on my iphone. Main problem is lack of signal.
Mine does. In fact all the droids I've had for the last few years have. I use back country navigator pro and google maps in areas far from any cell towers. Accurate too when compared to known coordinates.Cell phones do not have real GPS receivers! If they say they do it's BS!!!
They triangulate using cell towers! So if no signal around your screwed!!!

Sapper is correct, cell phones do not have a true gps receiver. Phone mapping is better than nothing in some areas, but in true remote areas like where we ride here in Alaska, a gps is required.Mine does.
