    Default Chartplotter for the keys

    Taking my Scout to the keys in a few weeks, it has all the fishfinder I need for the SC lowcountry, or anywhere else, however the chartplotter is outdated.
    Is there something I can use as a great chartplotter gps for a trip to the keys? Don't want to install something new on the boat, don't need it in SC.

    I use navionics on the phone down there, but I’m always in a rental boat

    Yeah- I gotta have something to use while running inshore- something big enough to read without reading glasses- and it's going on my flats boat

    I know several guys that run navionics on an iPad and ram Mount if you have an iPad.

    I do the same but also have a unit in the boat. I use C-Map on the iPad and navionics on the boat.

    I read the part about navionics earlier and have been looking at it on an I pad- I think that will work, Thanks

    Yes
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    I know it’s pricey, but getting the Florida marine tracks chip has been a game changer for the backcountry in Everglades national park. Definitely takes the guesswork out of getting from point a to b in shallow areas where the potential for a bad day is high if you hit something on plane.

    I may still have the ram mount for an iPad from my old contender. If you go that route let me know and I will look for it.

    I just put a 9 inch Simrad Evo 3 on the Action Craft. And will have a CMap Reveal here next week and still tossing around the Florida Marine Tracks. Just not sure we'd use it enough to justify $650. Either way, we'll be good to go down there come May 15th.
