Cheap and easy way to locate where you are on a lake ( depth and contour lines)?

I want to find a way to put myself on break lines and certain depths without spending too much money on a fancy piece of equipment….apps or handheld GPS?

Navionics is a $10 app and gives you contour lines and is very good.

auger and an old style clip on depth finder attached to a cheap rod. Worked for years before the green box.

Navionics and a cell phone or tablet.

The cell phone app is $10. and works Spamtastically!

This should bring up Mille Lacs. Navionics on the web

Zoom in for better detail.

Make sure you fiddle with the settings in Navionics before you start plotting hot spots/waypoints. I think there’s a way to keep them private, otherwise when you mark a spot they can be shared with anyone who is using Navionics. Good way to give away a honey hole :).

Navionics looks like a pretty killer app… is it fairly accurate?

Your results will vary by lake, but for a lot of the popular/bigger lakes I’ve found it to be really good.

Smaller lakes that are off the beaten path lakes can be hit or miss in my experience.

Way more than $10 of value though!
