Lets say you want to get to a spot on the other side of the lake, but there are islands in the way , you can create a route to follow to get there and back.
How to create a Route on Navionics Mobile App. These screenshots where from and I pad, you will notice that there is an Automatic Route feature on IOS not found on Android yet. Automatic will reroute you around depths less than what you have the keel offset set to. I would rec. Manual Route for Ice Fishing.
From the Help Tab found in the App.
ROUTE
Tapping on the Route tab allows you to add an unlimited number of waypoints on the map and thus create a Route; tap on the map where you wish to add a waypoint. Click the "Remove last" button, which appears when waypoints are being added, to delete your last waypoint. When you have finished creating the Route, click on the tab again to save or delete it. To add/remove waypoints tap on the Route button again. You can record and save unlimited Routes. You will find the list of all your saved Routes in the Archive. Routes are numbered in sequence, and can easily be renamed.

Tap Manuel Route.
Note the Automatic Route that was mentioned in the description above.

Follow the screen prompt to start

Tap and Hold Screen to add points
The last point on route will be shown. You can also add route point by holding down on the leg. A Route point can be moved by holding down on it and dragging it.

Click Go

The active leg will be highlighted in BOLD with the distance and heading shown in the top left box

Click on Stop to stop it

Tap on the Route Tab while the route is open and here you can Stop, Do a Reverse route back, Edit and Archives

You can find Archived Routes by tapping here

Route Archive where you can find stored routes

Community edits are user generated info on various items on the mobile app. You may see variuos icons on your app if you click on them you may see some notes on a spot. If you creat a Commuity Edit spot it will be viewable to all. So be careful if you want to save a marker/waypoint that you want kept private dont creat a Community Edit.

The long description from the Help menu in the app-

Navionics+ will now substitute Gold and HotMaps Premium cards, which are discontinued as of January 1, 2016. This is great news as Navionics+ offers boaters a better solution and an amazing value since it contains detailed marine and lakes content together in one product that is extremely affordable. And there's also the remarkable option of getting it at half price with Navionics Updates

Curious who uses an iPad for their Navionics and who still prefer's a chart plotter and why?

[Gecha (Gerry)]

I use both. When on my boat, I prefer to use my Lowrance HDS to track my location. When fishing on another boat, I always ask permission first, and use my iPad for location and to keep trace of where we went.

If you haven't updated your maps in awhile now is a good time a over 40 new lakes from Maine were added as well as a ton of Champlain updates

I use an iPad mini-2. Perfect size screen and you can't get a better Gps setup for under $400

Sonar gets run full screen, no split screen needed with this setup.
