The best one I have seen used on the iPad and the one I am using on my Droid is the Navionics plotter app. It includes Tides & Currents and is done in sections (i.e. USA-East) that covers the entire east coast. If the iPad has built in GPS then it is a true chart plotter. It works very well on my Droid as a plotter. The cost is based on each section and is around $14 per. To me it was well worth it. It is a very long download as it is loading the charts on your device. That way, if you don't have internet connection the app still works as long as you have a GPS signal.
