GPS Waypoint Phone Apps
Planning a trip to Reelfoot for April 2-6. First time on this lake. I picked up a lake map at Bass Pro Shops that has GPS Waypoints on it. Is there a user friendly phone app that a person can enter these points on to more easily navigate the lake? How are phone signals in this area? Maybe a handheld GPS would be what we need. Any thoughts? A Reelfoot water and fishing report would be appreciated also. Thanks

I have a garmin Oregon that is very nice to put waypoints in. I also use onXmaps app. You can get a 7 day free trial for onX to see if you like it.

GPS uses signals from multiple satellites to triangulate a position. Phones don't get these signals. Not that I am aware of.....
Phones get position from cell towers and such, not as accurate.

Onxmaps does look Interesting!

I have an app on my phone called GPS essentials that works pretty well. It works on multiple satellites. Iv used it several times in the woods marking mushroom trees. All the trees will cause some loss of signal. I have only used it a couple times on the water just to see how well it works, Works great. I don;t use it for the fact I have gps on depth finder.
Crappie spawning and morels popping up at the same time. What was God thinking when he made that schedule. It's pure torture every spring deciding which to do.
