Navionics IPad

[Northern Spy]

4 year old iPad (no cell or GPS) in a LifeProof case with a Bluetooth Garmin GLO.

Run Time Zero raster charts and Navionics simultaneously. Normally keep it on Navionics.

Works flawlessly.

And I'm a devout Android guy.

I think a better way to say this would be we use iPads as a reference for navigation. Actual navigation that drives the airplane is still provided by onboard sources(GPS/IRS/VOR/DME/LOC/etc.). The iPad just replaced the paper charts and manuals. It is referred to as an EFB...Electronic Flight Bag. There are very few "moving map" features in the navigation app we use. We still generally have to build the picture in our head by using the resources/references available to us. We do not maneuver the aircraft strictly by reference to an iPad. Don't get me wrong...it is one of the best things to ever happen to aviation. But it is just part of the navigation puzzle...it is not the entire puzzle.

Thanks for that clarification. That is exactly how I use my iPad on the boat. That raster charts provide “the big picture”
