This might be in the wrong forum sub, but I'll start here. I'm sure someone will correct me.
What does everyone use for navigation? real Charts? an APP and a Tablet? Just the GPS in the boat?
My issue, and man I have a few:
the GPS screen is pretty small, and in the sun hard to read. Phone is really small and hard to read unless you zoom in a bunch then there isn't enough info on the screen. I don't have a Tablet, maybe I should. I had a really nice chart book for the Tennessee river produced by the Army Corps Of Engineers, but I gave it away with my previous boat, because I'm an idiot. Now it is out of print, and I can get a used one sight unseen, but you all know how that goes.
So Long story longer, what's the general consensus? What does everybody like? Where is a good place to look for that sort of thing?
