Who wants to be staring at a five inch display, when you can be looking at a iPad screen? Also, don't get me started on plotters mounted at the helm. At the helm the only person who can I look at it is the driver, and when the shit hits the fan, the driver should be looking at something other than the five inch screen. The hot set up on racing boats, and I've also seen it on cruising boats is to have the display on a swing out arm in the companionway, or even mounted on the bulkhead left or right of the companionway where the whole crew can see it. And having that display be a redundant repeater from a display in the dry nav station down below is even better.
By the way, my waterproof case for the ipad is a military grade Griffin.
