The two GPS/Nav apps were $5 total. The phone was a little more.
The bag was about $30 - not good for taking pics.

As for the GPS app, easy to use. Waypoints easy to enter, and easy to set for navigating.
Easy to set up to create tracks and can e-mail to home PC.
Can also set up the GPS to send out positional info via e-mail every 15 minutes so wifey can see if I go way off course in the event something goes wrong.

The FlyToMap app is very basic and provides little use other than indicating on a chart the depth and location. Without a FF, it is good for depth info.

Thanks so much man, I bought this case for my phone and the iphone app too. Haven't taken it on the water yet but so far I am really excited by what I see.

i have a garmin etrex vista C with blue charts and it's compact and works well. you should be able to pick up a used one cheap!

+1 for the Etrex Vista, I didn't even know about the bluechart program for it, I use mine primarily for hunting but I mark waypoints for good fish bites. I think I need to buy bluechart for mine
