Well, I for one, am extremely impressed with iNavX on the iPad.
However, I would suggest that potential purchasers of the product look at the readily available feedback on its App Store page (summary screenshot attached), rather than listening to individuals promoting or drum-banging.

In the interests of objectivity, I've just been reading through user feedback on the App Store page. There is some negative feedback (1*), so we should look at this... The main points raised are:
There's no mention of chart quilting or course up as being major omission, so I think it's fair to say that this isn't a major feature that the public are crying out for.. personally, I find course up rather confusing, being a paper charts guy.
Anyway, if you want "course up" display simply rotate your iPad / iPhone so that the vessel arrow is facing in the direction of travel, and voila! Course up!
88 people out of 171 gave iNavX 5*s. That, to me, says it all.

Never knowingly overcanvassed!
