Navionics, etc only show large waterways and not broken marsh. I have a hard time seeing the dark marsh satellite images on my phone in the sun. Need something that shows great contrast in water and marsh but also shows my current location. Not sure if there's anything that would achieve what I'm looking for.

the map app on your phone should have satellite view, no? But it won't do a track. Has to be some app that will do a track...

I haven't found anything yet. I take snapshots from Google Earth, adjust the contract/brightness, and print those.

Try MapMyRun. It works great for tracking your route down to which side of the road you are on. It may also work for marsh if it has a google earth mode

Topozone has great maps, but now they charge

MapMyHike or Everytrail Apps will both do that on an iPhone, assuming you have cell coverage where you are paddling. On Everytrail you can take photos which will be inserted on the route, memorializing spots where you caught.

There's one called PaddleNav that I've been eyeballing. It's $9.99 for the app, so I've been hesitant.
