I've become a fan of Aquamap, which has Active Captain and Waterway Guide info integrated with the charts, which themselves are very good.

I run the Active Captain Community app on my old IPad that is with me during deliveries, and also have it on my Dell laptop. (when on a boat the laptop gets position info through a link to my android phone) I have a Garmin chart plotter on Imzadi and have downloaded the Garmin G2 charts (which is a personal preference because they use the same color patterns and symbols as NOAA charts) to both of my other devices. It all works off-line; I can download new areas of the charts I have to the IPad if I will be in an area that is not already saved there because of somewhat limited memory on the IPad. The laptop has access to the entire North American chart set that came with my last chart plotter update. Garmin also owns Navionics, IIRC, and I seem to recall the choice of Navionics or Blue Chart charts is an option for the newer Garmin Chart plotters. You might call them and see if since you have the Navionics app and charts on your phone you can share it to the Active Captain Community app on your Mac.

I have an on-deck ChartPlotter at the helm and while I’m a fan of Navionics on an iPhone… it’s so small! I don’t have an iPad or tablet but I do have a great Mac laptop I don’t use — it would make a great on-board navigation station. What software and charts are good? Navionics on a laptop runs through the web so that’s not a viable option. I saw OpenCPN but I can’t seem to find any raster or vector charts for Eastern Canada. Anybody running anything good?
