Tom;
My old IPad has the Garmin app loaded, along with 8 other navigation apps including a weather router, Drag Queen, Active Captain, Predict Wind, and a Tides app. I have all of the Garmin charts for the east coast of Canada and the US, the Bahamas, Bermuda, and the northwest part of the Caribbean from Cuba to the BVI. I've also choked the memory with a bunch of E books, a Nook app, a gaggle of photos, email etc. Which leaves about 6.3gig of free memory at the moment. All this crap runs off line without any need for a Wifi or cellular connection. I download updates with the WiFi network in my home, or using my cell phone as a WiFi hotspot when traveling. The only App that needs regular update is the weather routing. The forecast gets less accurate as you go out past 3 days, so I had a gap in weather forecast during the middle of my passages to and from Bermuda last year. But on the trips I've made up the East Coast I've been close enough to shore often enough to get updates using the WiFi hotspot on my Verizon cell phone. I would almost guarantee that most other navigation apps offer offline service equal to what I have, Rick Brass Washington, NC From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of T power via CnC-List Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2019 10:57 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: T power <sv_invic...@outlook.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List Tablet for navigation Hi Bruce, I was thinking of using a Samsung tablet also. Do you happen to sail offshore, If so are you still able to run a Nav program in real time when out of range of cell and wifi? Cheers, Tom Power Invictus C&C 30 MK1 Fredericton, NB
