I recently purchased the Navionics app for Android phones and have found it really useful. It isn't expensive ($12.99), and has several of the local Tenn. lakes in HD. This is definately not a replacement for a dedicated GPS unit, but for the person without a unit currently, it more than gets the job done. This app is also available for the iPhone ( though not the newest iPhone 4 yet ).

Well, until I upgrade the electronics that came on my "new to me" boat, I have used it to locate humps and ledges that aren't on the paper map I have. I also like it for night fishing, the phone has GPS built in, so if I fish an area that I'm not familiar with, I can go there in daylight and mark a track. That way if it is really dark or foggy I can stay away from those same humps and obstacles on the way back ( I am not one who thinks you can go wide open at night with gps ).

This may be a stupid question but i have a garmin nuvii for my vehicle that has a sd memory card slot in it. Does anyone know if i buy one of the hotmaps card if they work in those types of gps's also or does it have to be like an oregon or one you buy in an outdoor store. I am using a paper map rite now but a gps would make it alot easier tho.
