I paid $6 for the "GPS Waypoint Navigator" https://play.google.com/store/apps/...eskies.android.gpswaypointsnavigator&hl=en_US which is an app for my Samsung cellphone. Besides designating waypoints with a touch of the screen, it allows downloading of NOAA marine charts at no additional charge. It navigates amongst the waypoints with the touchscreen. The phone functions through continued reception of satellite locations even when beyond cell tower range. Kind of amazing as I once got lost in the fog and bought a handheld LORAN for future security. Google Earth View would allow navigation by overhead imagery and I used to carry a pictorial wall hanging of the San Juans as a cheat sheet. My cellphone fits in a holder protruding from a cupholder on my dash!
