I have been looking into this and there is an excellent solution. You can plug your onboard GPS into a wifi transmitter and receive the signal anywhere on your boat on your Ipad. This is compatible with INavx and other software. You can also transmit AIS if you have an AIS receiver and receive it on the Ipad (or any Android device) through INavx or other software. This is the future of onboard navigation. Here are some transmitters though there are many others. Jerry - J&J

OK...so I have this IPad I never use. I'm thinking good for chartplotting software for the 2X (maybe) a year that I need a chartplotter. Needs a GPS. I shop and see "Bad Elf"s" for $150+. Huh? I bought a GPS dongle for my laptop for $20. Is this more of Apples proprietary product BS? (sorry Apple users...I am not a big fan of Apple) Are there other solutions this non-tech, non-Apple guy could use? Thank in advance! David F.
