IPad GPS

I use it on my iPad, my android phone and my wife's iPhone. I like redundancy. It's not just for a backup though. I often have the chart plotter set at one scale(say zoomed in) and the iPad at another (zoomed out). It's nice to be able to see both scales of the map simultaneously. Also, I can move the iPad into the cockpit if I'm fishing near a border or RCA so I can more easily watch it to assure I'm not drifting into places I shouldn't while jigging etc. Also, it's great for route planning from home or for just looking at the map for fishable structure while day dreaming about fishing.

That doesn't make sense. I wonder if there are features missing on the iPhone version?
I looked on my iPhone and it is $16.99 for US and Canada....hmmmmm

The Navionics App for phones or tablets 7" and under is $16. The Navionics App for tablets larger than 7" is called Navionics HD. It is the same App with all the same features, but displays at a higher definition for the bigger screens. It costs around $70

The phone navionics version is lower resolution than the pad one.not a big deal
I bought a third party universal gps receiver that bluetooths to phones,pads,laptops.
Was a hundred bucks,but will never need cell reception or a data package.

Just a note - with an iPad with cellular capability, you don't need either cell reception or a data package. The models with cell capability have GPS built in.
Of course, the gizmo Humpbubble is talking about works too.

Clint r, The trial version is exactly the same as the purchased app. On the bottom left corner of the screen ,there are two icons. tap the top one and choose Sonar Charts, then zoom in on the location you will be fishing.

Just an example from full version at mid-zoom. Granted...no "action" as far as GPS/Sonar as I am lying on the couch in my jammies.
