#1, if I could afford a smart phone and that Vexilar thing, then I'd probably have a Helix 10 on the boat with mapping, and wouldn't need them. I do have a 'Bird, but it's a 581. The map that BT provided will make a great basic starter that shows the general topography under water, and with my knowledge of where different species may be at given times of the year, I'd be able to find the targeted fish.
I won't upgrade the flip phone. I can barely answer and make a call on it, and it was bought primarily for emergencies. Even though I do use computers at work for the connections to Chrysler and the wiring schematics, I am relatively cyber stupid. I've had it for only two years, when everybody else in the world have had them for 15 years. I came kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
Maybe we should just take up a poll and petition Fishing Hot Spots to get out there and run the whole lake, and let them come out with their $11 waterproof map.
I'd buy it in a heartbeat, even if I didn't get the chance to fish Coneaut. Bein' a pleasure boaters lake anyway, pretty much the spring fishin' is over, and so I'd most likely wait 'til after Labor Day to get on there. I hate dealin' with skiers and tubers in numbers like the lake will have in the summer time.
