I'm looking to use my ipad as a backup chart plotter on the boat. I would assume that i need to get a GPS receiver. Which do you suggest? I have heard pros and cons on the bad elf and xgps150. Also, what is the best app to use with the ipad? I have the navionics on the phone but they want another $60 for the ipad version. I have never used the navionics to chart of follow a course yet. Is itneasynto use compared to my raymarine equipment? Thanks in advance.
PS - looking at the BadElf I don't think it's compatible with the new ipad with lightning plug. It only takes the 30 pin connector. Also concerned with it connected to the unit if that would be an issue with a mountable ipad holder. Thanks again.
