The BVIs are about the least challenging navigation environment I can imagine. I wouldn't overthink this. Any cheap handheld should do. We got by with a compass, a water-stained chart with holes in it, and a cruising guide book.

I have a Samsung galaxy 3 Phone. I dont have a tablet? Would it be better to purchase a tablet or a Hand-held GPS?

They tell me that the Conch charter boats may or may not have a working GPS on board? Is there a way to hook a android tablet to a navigation app that I could use or should I buy a hand-held unit to bring with me? Any advice on this would be great?
