Have you tried OpenCPN from sourceforge on your linux tablet?

Wow, very nice. It won't install on either my Maemo Linux or Acer EEEpc
Linux tablets because it's i386 code, so I rebooted my Linux desktop to
Ubuntu and installed it there. It doesn't like the Atom processors, and
needs to be recompiled for them.
Thanks. Anyone with a Linux laptop using the i386 motherboard should be
able to run it under many versions of 386 Linux.
I haven't done any long research about it, but it looks very promising.
Install Ubuntu and the boot loader on your Windows laptop, then you can
dual boot to Win or Ubuntu Linux everyone calls "Linux for Humans"...(c;]
When you boot up you choose which OS to boot to. It's very simple.
They're a long way from The Cap'n but a long way from the price, too!
