I found a little spare time and created my own rig map on google earth. Which I could also download onto any gps. Some of these have been removed, but it’s close enough for me. I labeled them with the block number, and if you click on them it will give water depth. Rigs start at 60 ft

Go ahead and email me that when you get a little more spare time. TIA

I have both Navionics and Inavix. Inavix is a one time fee and Navionics is an annual fee. I find Navionics to have better inshore information while Inavix has better offshore mapping especially when it comes to lease block charts. Also Inavix allows you to share the app between up to 5 devices on apple products. Navionics the subscription is only good for the device you purchased on. They do have some generic maps for free but they dont show much detail.

I respectfully disagree. You can download their maps and use offshore but they dont contain true navigation data or lease block info. Only waypoints that are user added will show up along with water condition data. These two apps are awesome for navigation to good fishing conditions but are not a substitute for static information such as aids to navigation, rig locations, obstructions, etc.

Ummm ripcharts updates rig locations and most definitely has a GOM block chart available.

Can also show current gps position.

I agree it's not great for real time navigation, but if you're going offshore I would hope you have a MFD for that.
