I have an iPad mounted off the side of the helm, and use Navionics. Love Nav for route planning, fuel burn estimation, etc.
Simrad has an app to mirror the Mdf through Bluetooth. It's ok, but loses connection fairly often.
I also use it for other routine things mentioned. Best 500 bucks I have spent.
It will be interesting to see where the pads end up as far as navigation and other aspects. I was on a boat at a boat show that had four iPads mounted on the helm, and all supposedly integrated..
