Yes and yes. Why not both?
We have been using PC based navigation for 15 plus years with the last 5 using OpenCPN. A good program. A few weeks ago we had a friend showed us an area in the Bahamas that he recommended on his IPad using a Garmin app and charts. I think he said the charts were $30. The detail was the best. I looked for the same charts and couldn't find them for a PC or Android. We will be buying an IPad to supplement our PC. One device doesn't do it all but the IPad and the apps available looks like a good compliment to a PC or any chart plotter.
