[C320-list] Navionics App on non-cellular i-pad

[Colin Evans]

Yes Bill,
It works without the sim card.  As long as you have the GPS version of the
I-pad, navionics will work.  That`s what we use.
I`m also thinking of putting a socket in the binnacle so it will charge when
underway.
Zacor do a pretty good mount for the i-pad, for about $40.  Clamps on to the
grab rail above the compass. I`m not sure whether the speaker in the  i-pad
has any detrimental effect on the compass.

If you are concerned, open one of the free maps applications and ithe GPS
should show where you are.

This is a techie question about an app I love on my i-phone - Navionics,
which lets you chart plot your route on a navigation chart. Navionics has
the same app for an i-pad, for more money, $55, but I cannot work out if my
i-pad-3, which is not equipped with cellphone receiving, but does receive
GPS signals, will locate me on the charts that download with this app.
Reviews on the website indicate it does not, but I am not convinced. Does
anyone know?

Thanks
