[QUOTE="Hawgeye, post: 144253, member: 2041"] I have it downloaded and posted a couple locations for depth of ice over the past several days. Because this app was there, it helped me decide how I plan to get out and where to go based on how much walking I knew I had to do. Although I posted from a location on the lake that wasn't exactly "my spot", I make sure I was posting a depth of ice that was consistent with every place I checked. I think this is good to have...although you must take with a grain of salt with safety in mind....anyone who trusts public information from someone they don't know or trust without speculation are asking for trouble. I wish they would allow a comment so one could explain things like "11" but slushy ice....or the bottom 4 inches were good clear ice etc....all 11" of ice is "not created equal". Also, if one could comment about the amount of snow on the ice as well, the ultimate goal is to understand the overall condition for safety in my opinion....I'll never trust anything without using my own precautions, no matter where I go...I have always been overly paranoid about driving on and trusting any ice. I can see it opening up more people to lakes as they see large quantities of reports from a given lake they are not aware of increasing the amount of traffic on that lake. I also don't plan to report ice conditions moving forward unless it gets sketchy due warm up or something. I am as protective of my spots as the next guy, I just think if I can help people be more safe based on the conditions, so be it. [/QUOTE]
