I concur and support the part about waypoints/routes. The maps isn't such a big deal, as I can load so many maps into my iPhone 4 ahead of time it is not such a big issue. However, if you are in an anchorage in the Everglades, Northern Michigan, or anywhere there isn't cell service, there's no way to make route changes in MacENC and get them into the a supporting device (iPad/iPhone), even though they are connected via TCP/IP. I think this is a must.
I am about to make a complete jump to this technology, with all my instruments configured through Actisense devices and routed into my network via NMEA 0183. Then it'll all be Wifi from there with a 12volt Mac Mini as the primary and my iPhone (and in the future an iPad) on deck.
The other thing I'd like to throw in is ENC charts for mobile and DSC VHF position integration. But in the mean time, we gotta have a way to get waypoints/routes from MacENC into iNavX over an adhoc network.
