Looking for a simple gps app...all I need it to do is get me back to the boat launch... thanks

I've got the Navionics app that works well on my Android.

+1 on Navionics.  Just an awesome app

Ditto on Navionics. 

 

It's my back-up to my on-board Humminbird systems in case something stupid happens.

Works well on the iPhone as well.

Yeap.

Navionics is great, but why wouldn't the native map app work to get you back to the ramp?

Not sure what you mean by "native app" but Google Maps isn't worth squat for showing water depth.  You're gonna wanna avoid shallow water.

 

That can be fatal to lower units.

Another ? for navionics 

When I download the Navionics it said FREE... But after I downloaded it...it stated there would be a charge... I only needed a GPS for one area I fish... But I don't fish the area enough to pay for an app... Any other app I can use... Thanks

Are you looking for mapping & depth, GPS or Mapping with GPS? The Navionics web app is just maps with depth contours. It doesn't show you where you are on the water. GPS mapping on your phone like Google Maps shows you where you are on a lake and how to return to the launch.  But, it won't show the depth contours. Depth finders with mapping combine depth contours and shows you're location on the lake and how to get back to the launch.

Looking for an app that will get me back to the boat launch  only...i know the depth and all that stuff... Just don't need to get lost...

The app does show you where you are. Tap the arrow button on the bottom left of the screen.

On the free version of the Navionics Web App that I’ve been using, there is no arrow button on the bottom left of the screen.
