Navionics HD is excellent in Canada and the Caribeean and there is no need for any network connectivity as long as the IPad is equipped with gps. Highly recomended. You need to buy the nav upgrade and enhanced map upgrade to get full usability but those are only $4.99 ea.

The cellular data plan does not need to be activated and it works well offshore. I'm using iNavX. I don't know if they have a Canadian equivalent. For areas outside the US I use Navionics. Both work very well and it's been a couple of years since I actually placed the paper charts on the nav desk.

I wanted to know if one needed a data connection to use an iPad for navigation and what software is most recommended. Is it Navionics? I'm working with the understanding that the iPhone/iPad require a data connection for their GPS to work. I have a wifi/3g iPad with a SIM card and plan but there isn't a lot of data, it's for "emergencies". I wonder about keeping it on while cruising for navigation, if it's needed. I do have paper charts but want to use both electronic and paper.
