Ok, I finally broke down and got one of those new fangled phones that does everything, my kids have been telling me I just have to have. Now the question is....What kind of boating app's do you use and where do you get them?
 
Some good ones I occasionally use are; Navionics (UsaEast), GPS Test Plus, Anchor Alert and Boat Ramps. They can be found at the Android Market which is an app thats probably already loaded on your phone.
 
"EarthNC lite" in the market. It's a free app That shows depths, direction, and heading. The pay one is more advanced, but I suggest installing the free one first to get an idea of what it can do.
 
We use Navionics, Anchor Alert,,and BoatUS just posted a free app for Android.
 
I just got an Android phone, too. There are lots of GPS apps. Check out GPS Essentials and for a simple compass, Compass. Both of these operate off GPS only (no data connection required).

Marine weather, Navigator trial or full,VZ Navigation, GPS status, RMaps, Tide prediction,Maps,WiFi Analyzer(to check for available wifi), Scanner radio, Latitude, Time to fish, Speed test( to show speed of downloads and uploads)Earth, Weather bug. All from Android market(should already be on your phone, and all android approved apps.)
 
Color Flashlight is a free app. It turns the screen into a fluorescent type lamp. It's actually very bright at night.
 
I use "Rainy Days" and "Tide Predictor" on my Droid. The LED flashlight app is very handy.
 
If you like to read, I would also recommend Kindle. So much easier than carrying and trying to store several books to read while on the boat.
 
Try talking tom........... I did this at the dinner table............. I had the kids and grand kids laughing so hard tears were everywhere and a good time was had by all.
 
Some really good apps...not necessarily marine related
Google Earth
Google Sky map
Google goggles
Google Finance
Wikimobile
Voice search

All free! Best part of Android is the free apps!
