On deliveries I use every piece of equipment available. On my own boat, I have radar and an old plotter. On both the iPad is my go-to nav unit. On my boat, when I'm anchored and in my bunk I can instantly check whether I'm dragging with a glance at my iPad. On deliveries, when I'm off watch, I can check on what course and speed the watch on deck is able to maintain. I also carry a very basic hand-held GPS as back up and almost all boats I get on have at least a hard-wired GPS aboard and most have a plotter.
