How the heck do you use OpenCPN on an iPad?

For planning I use OpenCPN or my Ipad with Garmin BlueChart (no longer
supported) or Navionics. On the boat I have an e7 plotter and OpenCPN
and my phone and/or IPad. I like redundant independent systems.
It is more important that you use your tools correctly than have a
specific piece of gear/software.

Well, as one who regularly uses an iPad as a nav tool, I guess my
nav skills are inappropriate! I admit to (boast of) being
something of a traditionalist when it comes to all things
maritime--it took me until ten years ago to leave my sextant
behind when I'd head offshore--but neither am I a Luddite. It's a
foolish navigator who doesn't use every tool at his disposal to
keep his vessel safe. For a couple of decades celestial navigation
was the only tool I had available, which made landfalls quite a
tricky business. Especially finding Bermuda on a hazy day. And in
those days the BVI had few if any lights on the north shore at
night, so we'd heave to until dawn so we could avoid all the reefs.
The technology is good and when you mix it with good seamanship
can be used very successfully. Part of good seamanship is not to
completely trust any one input when it comes to navigation; along
the coast I will check bearings and depth, for instance, to be
sure I'm getting good info from my iPad.

shall we start a discussion on how inappropriate it is to use an

Blame the navigator, not the tools... and if the navigator is a
tool then it still gets the blame.
At the risk of sounding like a techno-peasant, is the iNav
another apple thingy? I'm still stuck on OpenCPN or Visual
Navigator (without a dongle) on an XP box .
