I'm a very happy user of iNavX.
Currently I'm looking into the availability of apps for iPad offering logbook functionality.
These seem to be available, but al they offer is some kind of forms in which I can fill all kind of data, eg weather, position, wind, course, etc..
Now my question: could it be an idea to expand iNavX with a logbook functionality?
All kind of data is available already through wifi.
Say you can press a button "add to logbook" every hour and all availlable data is stored in a logbook item to which I then can add some lines of text and a picture. The presentation of the data can be simple at first and could be developed through time to look better.
What is your idea about this?

At this time there is no plans for such log book functionality. Apps are not designed to be everything, but the kitchen sink. Instead they are designed to one thing well. INavX focus is on real-time navigation. Instead I would prefer iNavX leverage another app for log book functionality such as iNavX does with AyeTides or other apps that support import of GPX or KML waypoints, routes, tracks. Think of apps more as widgets that work together.

Hi... [a bit off-topic from iNavX]

Are you running a Mac as well? Then BoatLogix might help. I have FileMaker on my Mac and have developed my own logbook system, which gives me huge flexibility to tailor it to my own needs and wishes. When creating a new passage entry it automatically picks up data from MacENC, such as position, course, heading, speed through the water, apparent wind etc, and it derives true wind and current off-set. I have a lot of fun with it.
