    I bought the app a couple days ago.
    pretty cool detailed charts of white water bay and florida bay.

    I was wondering if anyone has used it on the water?
    As far as the GPS goes and tracking and what not.

    I have a water proof (dear GOd I hope it is) iPhone bag for my phone. It works well as long as you have 3G coverage. Mingo not so much. I use it as a trip planner more than on the water GPS.

    Haven't fished much the past month or two, but I have used it twice and it works great.
    Did excellent in Biscayne Bay.
