I need a new portable device for travel and possibly navigation. I used a PC on the tug with Coastal Navigator. The boat is gone but I still have the laptop, which is getting dated and clunky (XP) but still works great for navigation. Since the built-in gps's on the boat are gone, I have ordered a Global Sat BU 353 hockey puck gps.
I use an iPhone 4*for all my internet needs. It can generate a*wifi hotspot for other devices and/or tether to my PC or iPad.
Should I be thinking about buying a new laptop for travel and possible use on my next boat or should I be thinking about using an iPad?
Who knows what kind of nav gear the next boat will have? Who knows what the next boat will be? I am looking...
