GPS built into phones and pads is limited and depends on cellular service being
available. Moreover, reception below decks is poor to non-existent. Also,
with wifi you can transmit AIS and any other NMEA info such as wind speed,
depth, and even radar. It's a different ballgame entirely. You can even
receive on multiple Pads and from anywhere on the boat. Your Ipad or Android
becomes a complete navigation system using an app such as INavx and is
available anywhere on the boat. Of course, you must have nmea sensors to plug
into the wifi router. Jerry J&J

or you can buy a 10" Samsung Galaxy Tab with GPS for $250. Add Navionics for
$10. Poof! Chartplotter.

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

Subject: Stus-List IPad Question...
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!
