Anyone using Navionics on an iPad?

[kensom]

I have the Navionics app on my iPhone and find it difficult to use due to small screen size (also not very impressed with accuracy) ....the iPad version is a little spendy at 50 bucks so I was wondering if anybody that is using it that can share your opinion.....ease of use, accuracy, etc. Is it the same as the phone version?

I have the Nav app on my android phone and have since got a Samsung 7" Tab tablet and am thinking of getting the app for that device (around $55.00)and a ram mount to stick on my truck windsheild. I will be curious to see responses for folks that do have the apple or android tablet Nav apps.

Do IPads' have a built in GPS Antenna? I thought that was an addon also unless they were feeding off of a gps enabled device.

I just use my iPhone version of Navionics on my iPad. I don't take it with me anywhere though - it's just for "scouting" and planning from home.

The iPad has to be an LTE version to have a GPS. That's one of the many reasons I prefer my Nexus 7 - GPS, nicer screen, great form factor, and half the price! I've got the navionics app on it and it works great!

How are you able to do that?

I use it on an iPad 2 with gps. It's pretty good, but the gps isn't as good as a real gps unit. It seems to wander of target occasionally.

Overall though, it is a pretty sweet setup. Hard to see the screen in the sunlight.

Thanks Sherpa.......it worked and you saved me $50 by not having to buy the app!

Awesome! Glad to hear it.

The ap for iPad is better then the one for iPhone IMO. There are more options and features.
