FWIW, I use Garmin BlueChart Mobile on an Ipad and have no complaints. Fast and easy to use tools. Also, it's easy to connect a remote GPS via Bluetooth and use that for live tracking in the car, boat, etc.
Good luck.

If you insist on using an iProduct, you are somewhat out of luck (you can use BaseCamp, I believe, but I cannot guarantee results). But it works very well on any Windows PC and, as some other listers can attest, an old BlueChart v.2 can be of great help in planning routes.

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. Rick Brass
