Default Navionics App?

Hey just curious who has the navionics app?
I have the gold chip for the west coast and the hotmaps chip for the lakes in my HDS8 but was curious what the detail is like on the newly updated app? Its only 15 bucks so I was thinking it would be nice to view while at camp and a nice backup while ice fishing?

Also does it allow you to mark locations via GPS?
If possible could someone either take a screen shot and post it or PM me for my cell # to text.

Thanks a bunch.
Mike

I have it, and I've been trying for the last few days to get Calling Lake to show up on it but it keeps showing it as land mass

Sounds like a cool app I have an HDS 8 also and will look into it. On another note do you know how to upload waypoints from an sd card to your hds 8?
Thanks
Justin

Thanks I'll look at the website. I read the whole manual said nothing about it.

I have it, I can mark GPS locations.
I even took it with me and it recorded complete track info when on a guided trip.
Can't see difference between it and my Nav chip in HDS 5
Have not figured out how to export to my chip or create rockfish conservation zones I can mark the corner points. I can create a track around them. Just would like to put a red layer there to remind me to stay away.
I am using it on a ASUS TFT 300 which has a built in GPS that works without an internet connection and I love it.
