For what it's worth, the Garmin Bluechart app uses Explorer data AND Active Captain. Just sayin'...
IMHO iNavx is a MUCH better product but I really feel like iNavx is missing the boat (so to speak) when it comes to the Explorer data and Active Captain.
The Bahamas are one of the most famous cruising grounds in the world and the Explorer Charts are the gold standard for navigation there. Currently I run both iNavx and Bluechart on my iPad and, as others have mentioned, Navionics would have run me aground on several occasions. I would love to dump the Garmin app but the Active Captain and Explorer data are critical.
As for Active Captain... Where are you going to anchor tonight? I don't know many sailors that don't use it, providing they have it available.
