Danny, If you own an iPad with a GPS built in ie a 3G model, all you need to do is buy a Navionics app or sim ilia and you are all set for your trip and any other future trips too. I like Navionics enough that I keep a dedicated iPad for the boat aboard in a Griffinmilitary spec case. Works

As far as I can see, the only problem with not cross connecting the water tanks would be the resulting complexity of your fresh water system and the need to get access to all the valves every time you want to change tanks. You will need a line from each tank to the inlet of your fresh water
