Chris You've received lots of good advise. One recommendation I would make is get Garmin Blue Charts then become an Active Captain member and download the data base. I found Active Captain invaluable on our cruise to the Bahamas and back.
I use android tablet at the helm with Navionics, iPad with Garmin as back up. In the salon I use radar with cmap cards (old school), laptop running SailCruiser (cmap charts) with integrated AIS transceiver connect to ST60 autopilot.
