For less than that $200
In Response To: Simrad Go-Free wifi ()
You could have the Navionics app with vector charts ($49) plus the Maxsea TZ app with raster charts ($39) plus a GPS upgrade ($100) to your iPad and have a better, independent CP for down below than the one at the helm. Of course, it may be worth the $200 if you want to display radar and depth from your Simrad. So add the other stuff anyway and have it all.

- What chart plotters/GPS units will co-display on an ipad?
- Furuno or Raymarine
- Funny, I'm choosing all my electronics based on Ipad compatability.
- Why don't you just install a chart app on the ipad, Blye?
- What are you using directly into your ipad, (You're using Garmin Bluechart app?)
- Yes. Then our external gps, through blue tooth, plots our location on the charts.
- No, ipad is just WIFI... (I'm a Pirate.... we're a tad on the cheap end.... spend money on a cell enabled ipad!!!! LOL!!
- Same boat here. There may be a small plus or two to an external gps reciever.
- If you're buying an iPad for navigation, get the model with GPS
- Even better buy a model that uses Android...
