I've only used Course-Up on my chartplotter a couple of times. The screen redraws occur so frequently as the boat is being pushed around by the waves that it's unusable. I can't see it being any better on the iPhone, and I think the constant redraws will cut the battery life down as well. But to each his own, I guess.
On a different note, did you know that to get all the Navionics products on the iPhone will cost you $650 and take up 4.66 GB of space? Ouch! To get just the US will run you $125, but weirdly enough on x-traverse they sell the US maps for only $20. Even the HotMaps Premium versions (all 4 of them) are only $60 total. I'm curious about something else to, do the Navionics apps allow for chart updating or are they fixed with what's in them at the time of downloading?
