You got me curious, so I looked up a chartplotter for an iPad (since I happen to have one). This one is running Navionics. People seem to be impressed with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV9gJ4mo9BE === I have Navionics on two different smart phones. It's a decent charting app and a good value - all the charts for the US, Bahamas and Caribbean for about $15. For my lap top I still prefer OpenCPN however. It's much better for laying out courses in advance and then following them underway. On our Searay and in the dinghy I put a smartphone in a ziploc baggie and use Navionics. The smartphone does not even need to be enabled/registred if you download the charts in advance with a wifi connection. |
