fleeter Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 What GPS do you guys use? I'm looking for one for all fishing trips including ice fishing, and it must track trips on a map. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLofchik Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I've been using a Garmin Etrex for years (as in around six or seven) and it does all I need it to. Small screen, but pretty robust. Features depend on the model, but simple to use one handed which I like. And it's definitely waterproof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyv Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I also have an etrex for ice-fishing and it seems to do the trick for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank81 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I use to use a Garmin Etrex Legend, but the damn thing ate too much batteries, so I sold it on Kijiji and bought a compass and a few maps. lol... (seriously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrgadget Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I use my i pad mini mounted between handlebars on bike.Navionics app for canada + usa costs 54.99. for a backup i got the same app on i phone for 14.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnbob Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I am also a fan of Navionics on my iPhone and on my iPad. There have been a couple of spots that weren't covered, but I imagine they aren't on any of the GPS units. Navionics feeds map data to a lot of GPS manufacturers.

nottaone Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I just picked up a lowrance h20 with the navionics card, just have to figure out how to work the darn thing. Plus hoping i can use the card in my lowrance fish finder on the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoomie Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I used a Garmin GPS12 for about the last 10 years. No maps, just relative positions and tracks. You can mark a waypoint and have the unit point you to it out on the lake. I turn it on when I drift and it marks the track the boat takes with a line on the screen so you can go back and do it again. I also use it when I'm going out on a smaller lake at night. I can create the track of my trip across the lake going around all the shoals and islands, then follow the track home in the dark. Makes things much safer. The thing is a durable a anything too. They probably don't make them without a map any more but I just wanted to say it's not really needed. The Navionics maps are really good and you get the added bonus of seeing the depth of the lake at any given spot so that's a huge plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reelaction Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 The Lowrance H2O is discontinued from what i read. Is there another comprable Lowrance product that works well with the Navionics card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus hoping i can use the card in my lowrance fish finder on the boat. I just bought a Lowrance Elite-5 and it takes the navionics card. The Elite-5 was 299 at BPS and the navionics card with one year of updates was 150 from Radio World (best place for electrics in my opinion).
