Chuck:
I’ve been using Navionics on a pedestal-mounted iPad for years
(also have it on my phone), and it works fine for what I need on Lake Erie.
However, I was chastised by someone on this list for previously reporting this.
Apparently, the lister believed that only a Chart Plotter is sufficient for
“true” navigation. That may well be true for other parts of the country.

P.S. I still have charts on board if dead reckoning becomes necessary.

I've always paid for Garmin updates and enjoyed their products. But I saw
Navionics on a friend's tablet and thought I'd try that.
I paid $21 for an annual subscription to Navionics for the entire US and
Canada. and the same subscription applies to three devices; my PC, my cell
phone and a future tablet. I think it's well worth the price as I can plan
routes on my laptop, and now have a plotter on my cell phone, so it's always
with me, no matter what boat I'm on.
I know I'm late to the party on this, so any advice on using it is appreciated.
