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.

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.

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 .
