I have an iPad with Navionics but still find some shortcomings (a) the software doesn't do very much except tell you where you are (b) the iPad is not sunlight readable and (c) not waterproof. I am a bit surprised by the level of enthusiasm among this expert group - surely a purpose built helm mounted chartplotter still dominates?
Cheers, Roger Ware Kingston, Ontario Waiting for Spring, or at least a break in this miserable Winter From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrew Burton Sent: February-19-14 9:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Stus-List Navigation Software 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.

On deliveries, do you use the boat's navigation equipment? Or just your personal ipad? Thanks Richard 1985 37 CB (sunshine and 60 degrees-snow is melting!) Richard N.

I still carry the paper charts but haven't used 'em. It's the only plotter I use on my boat.
