GPS on ice for ice fishing

[deerdad]

I know there was a posting about this at some point and can't remember what it was. It would show your position via GPS out on a frozen body of water and was geared more to ice fishing but it would also work as long as you could get out on open water too. I want to say it incorporated depth maps but it wasn't just the plain depth maps that you can print out. Anyone remember this?

I use Navionics

escape the ordinary. Navionics electronic navigation charts of marine areas, lakes, and rivers provide boaters around the world with detailed cartography, HD bathymetry, and advanced features for use with their GPS chartplotters and mobile devices.

No, thats not it. It was something specific for ice fishing and you could use any gps to pinpoint where you were on a body of water. It was some app that you could download that would allow you to get over drop offs or find deeper holes and that's all I can remember about it. It covered MA lakes and ponds but wasn't part of the state depth charts you see online. I wish I had bookmarked it when Isaw it 1 or 2 years ago.

That App I linked does exactly that.

I don't know where I got that it was specifically for ice fishing but this is what I was trying to find.

All the NH ponds/lakes have PDF depth maps.
Depth Maps of Selected NH Lakes and Ponds | Maps | New Hampshire Fish and Game Department

You can load any PDF map into the Avenza Maps app and save locations. Two versions of Avenza-the free one will only let you keep 3 maps.

Some screenshots from a past life:

I also use it with local topo maps in PDF.
