    That's what I do to............ I think the map download was 10 bucks..........I have spent way more than that on way more useless stuff.
    If you have a smart phone that would mean one less dodad to take with you.

    gps eats phone batteries.
    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
    The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and one that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

    You don't have to leave your phone "ON" all the time. Mine goes into sleep mode after 1 minute saving battery. You don't need to have the app open all the time. Only when you are navigating.
