Charlie;
Since you have a Garmin plotter, have you thought about using Garmin Homeport software. I know you can load it on a PC, at a cost of $29.00. You can download the Garmin chart set that is on your 540 at no cost, IIRC. Then you can not only do the route planning on your laptop, but you can copy the route to the SD card in your plotter and have the route available on the plotter to be followed. I think there is a version available for iOS, but you can't put the route onto an SD card because there is no slot in the iPAD - at least not on the iPAD that I have.

I need recommendations for an ipad/phone app for route planning at home. My Garmin 540 works fine on the boat but I'd like to plan a route in my family room for an upcoming trip to Ocracoke from Oriental NC. The distance is ~ 30-35 nm and there are plenty of government marks to use--I just want to try this without using the paper charts, which are also on the boat!. I have been to "...this one particular harbor..." before so I have some local knowledge. Just need some hints on which app (or apps) to go with.
