Andrew from the yacht Arabella has written a blog about his experience of using the iPad as his charting display of choice He starts out by saying........
"The loss of my trusty, semi-retired MacBook Pro, as a result of its impromptu shower on the Round The Island Race, had forced me to consider alternative methods of chartplotting. "
His blog is quite jnformative and is aimed more to those whose boating is in Europe; even so, well worth the read for his comment around 5 charting solutions listed here.
- iChart (Solent)
- Marine Imray Charts: English Channel
- Navionics HD UK & Holland
- Memory Map (Free version)
- iNavX
