Aaron Shirley Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) Just curious, as I know lots of anglers with Blackberry's, but only one angler with an iPhone. What kind of cell phone or smartphone do you have? If you have an iPhone, you will want to check this link out!

Aaron Shirley Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) How come the poll features don't work in this forum? Tried for the life of me and can't get it to work. Nevermind, finally got it to work. i had to enter the same question in two seperate fields.

diggyj Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I heard from friends that the Canada App is a waste of money. Lots of lakes missing. Not a lot of detail for Lake Ontario. Im curious if it has Simcoe, Scugog, Rice, etc...I would buy if it has Rice Lake for sure. I sent Navionics an email requesting a complete list before I purchase but they never got back to me so I guess I will not purchase at this point in time.

lookinforwalleye Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 My Son has an i phone and he downloaded the app and we used it on Balsam Lake last year what I noticed is the GPS function would not work while the boat was going, other than that it was okay given the price. I wish there was something similar for Blackberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinfool Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I use the Blackberry Bold but my son has an i-phone and loves all the apps. I find the BB works great for texting, messaging and everything else business related, but I wonder if I am missing something? anybody?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has aGPS, which is useless out in the boonies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it do at recieving email from a Blackberry business server?? The iphone can't do what a Blackberry can in the business world. They are pretty cool personal phones though.

diggyj Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I was recently discussing this topic about Navionics for iPhone with a friend and he told me that if your iPhone is jailbroken, you can add an external Bluetooth GPS so you can get a much more accurate position fix. I had a 2G iPhone but recently bought a new 3GS iPhone and I refuse to jailbreak as I was tired of always rebooting and nuking it when something went wrong. If anyone wants the link, PM me as it is on another site. Apparantly the fix works great. Dirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The iphone can't do what a Blackberry can in the business world. They are pretty cool personal phones though. Iphone can receive email from Any pop3 or smtp server.. I have 4 accounts setup on my iphone ( 2 work - 2 personal) ... Sure you Cant BBM with other Blackberry users but thats about it.,,, text messaging is fast and easy to type...

F7Firecat Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I love my iphone, I saw the navioincs app in the app store but I dont think I need it as I already have the sd cards for my GPS. Some more first hand use of this app would be great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scugpg Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) I see this has came out for android based phones as well. If someone was only interested in the Trent-Severn (which both chips have), which would be better in theory? The Mobile Lakes, or Mobile Marine? I see the Lakes version has HD maps of some Kawartha lakes, not sure if that is included in the Marine one.

It has aGPS, which is useless out in the boonies. That is 100% incorrect. iPhone Gps works independent of a cell signal. All agps does is help triangulate when you're indoors or other times when it can't reach the sat. It also speeds up location when a cell signal is available.

ColdH20guy Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Hi guys I have the Samsung Galaxy Smartphone (Android) and love it so far...I have never had an iphone so I cant compare it to them or say it is better etc; I just like mine alot right now. I too saw the Navionics app but it didnt really expand as to what it included..it was either 'Great Lakes' or 'Canada'..I am also interested in areas around Couchiching, Simcoe, 6 mile, Sparrow etc.. I think the app is around $13 so I wanted to find out if the above lakes are covered somewhere in detail before I purchased it.. thanks guys for any thoughts..good topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregoire Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) On my iphone I have the great lakes and the canada app. The great lakes app only covers the great lakes. The canada app has a lot of the lakes in southern ontario. I just checked and all the lakes you mentioned are covered. A lot of the smaller lakes are not included though.
