I've just bought a "new" motorboat in the UK. Many of the systems are 30 years old and there is no gps at all. As a Mac user for 20 years, I'm really keen to extend the Mac to my boat and am considering buying an iPad (my main work computer is a Macbook Pro, but it is too vital to my work to risk taking it sailing!).
Question - is the iPad a suitable basis for the main navigation system (as a gps/chartplotter) with iNavX, a gps receiver such as advertised on their site and Navionics Gold charts (UK waters only required) via X-Traverse... plus other transducers etc to be added later?
Or would I be better to buy a dedicated gps/chartplotter from Garmin or whoever?
