    I like Dark Skies for a weather app. It mostly does one basic thing: It warns you if it's going to rain/snow/sleet soon. It tracks your location and compares it to the radar and gives you alerts like "Light Rain in 5 minutes" or "Heavy Rain in 30 minutes" or even "Snow in 15 minutes". It's kind of like having somebody watching the radar and texting you when rain is headed your way. It's a pay app, and I got it on a friend's recommendation. Didn't like it at first, but after a few warnings when I didn't know it was getting ready to rain, I grew to like it. It gives you time to put your tools away or get your rain gear on.

    I have seen the Navionics web app on my computer and it looks good. I'm sorta new to mobile apps. How easy is it to see and use on the small screen of a phone?

    Ok Kentucky lake guys from Big Sandy down to Pickwick Lake how is the navionics reception wise? I don't want to spend $10 for a service that only works half the time.

    Reception doesn't affect the Navionics once you have the lake downloaded. If you are trying to display terrain around the lake, you need data, but that is a function of your carrier.

    I was actually just about to make a thread about using the iphone on the lake. Navionics looks like a pretty cool app. I am new to reading and understanding navigation maps.

    I understand all the numbers to be depths, but what are some other tips to reading and maximizing the utility of the map? Thanks for the help

    You can set a shallow water alarm, post a track as a "bread crumb" trail in case you get lost in unknown areas, mark a spot as a coordinate, etc.

    I downloaded Navionics for the iPhone last week and have been messing around with it in the house. How good is the resolution, using an iPhone? If you mark a spot, how accurate is it, and can you find that exact spot again easily?.

    I love the Navionics app, never used it on the water because my depth finders have chips, but the night or days before a trip I use it a lot to plan where I'm going to fish, especially on new waters.
