I've been using my iPad to navigate for two years now. I started with Navionics and I have been extremely satisfied with this product. However it's always nice to try different products and last summer I got the Garmin Bluechart mobile app for iPad.
There's a lot of negative reviews about this product and my opinion of the app is not very positive either. To be honest I haven't been able to really use and try this product because the user interface is so slow I gave up after a few tries. What I mean is everytime I use my finger to move the map it takes a good 2-3 seconds (sometimes even longer) for the image to actually move. Seriously! Compared to the Navionics app, this one is totally unresponsive. Am I the only one that has this issue? I use an iPad 3 and I have lots of free memory so I doubt it's a hardware issue.
It's unfortunate that the app is not better than this because I would really like to use it and pair it over wi-fi with my Garmin gps so I can transfer routes and waypoints.
