I, too believe that is why losing his wifi connection would have
mattered. However, using AIS apps on a tablet or phone means you are
using land based AIS information, which is usually delayed by 20 minutes
or so, and does not show all vessels with AIS transmitters. Land based
AIS data is gathered by volunteers and stations frequently go offline.
It is not a substitute for a real AIS receiver onboard getting direct
AIS information from nearby vessels directly.

Actually, I think that fellow was using wifi to get AIS positions and
he lost his signal not using the iPad for navigating.
