heaterman Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Got a smart Phone? Look up the Navionics app. It's $10 and shows bottom contours of the Lakes. Any lakes for that matter. I have used it as a backup for my GPS/sounder for a couple years and it is spot on. It also has a "divider" (not sure if that's the right term) that you can use to determine distance from point A to point B. Shows speed and compass bearing also. You hardly need a GPS/plotter with this app. and for $10 you can't beat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moby Dick Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I would guess about 8 miles. 200 FOW is about 11 miles. Go out 300 degrees to get deep quickest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaCatMich Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 7.5 miles on a 260 to 290 heading from the pier heads is in the 150' area. Going further north or south of that will take 8-9 miles. Online you can go to the Navionics online WebApp to simulate any of their charts at: http://webapp.navionics.com/?lang=en#products/NavionicsPlus@10&key=qpb%60GdproO If you click on the blue > symbol on the left side of the screen you can choose what chart product to use to view with the app. In the bottom right corner there is a button with a compass tool to activate a point to point range tool that shows distance and heading of two points anywhere on the chart. Nice app. Here is a screen shot showing a plot line from the harbor to 150 FOW using the Navionics+ US/Canada chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
