I'm pretty sold on my 2nd generation iPad. I have to confess that I haven't
pulled a paper chart out since I got it about 18,000 miles ago. Just make
sure it's 3G or 4G enabled and you can download iNavX or (for the BVI)
Navionics. The GPS function is excellent as are the charts. If it was
better in direct sunlight, I would choose it over a dedicated plotter. And
it's all I use below on my boat.
