Using navionics app on a boat ipad or tablet

navionics app on a boat ipad or tablet 100% best thing I did love using it makes life at sea so much easier and fun.
And the case I got has now almost doubled in price but for just over £20 it's still a amazing price for the case to mount the tablet I've added a link to what looks to be the same as mine please check it will fit your tablet and don't just click buy.

I was about to spend £1500 on a chart plotter before lockdown. I'm so glad I didn't. We have Navionics on our 2 mobiles and son's tablet. It's absolutely brilliant. If you're teccy enough you can cast to a laptop and have it on a really big screen. Plus, we all effectively get to use our own chart plotter simultaneously while at sea. Strangely, the paper charts, compass etc also became far more interesting to my son when he could relate them to his 10" tablet screen!

[@snapon1948]

Hi what tablet are you using thanks

[@John-ji5bo]

I currently just use my mobile and cast to a laptop. It's absolutely brilliant. My son just has a cheap Samsung. Like the man above says, just make sure it's got GPS.

[@r.bouth.6457]

Hello. You know something I searching for.. Is it better to have navionics installed on a phone with android or iPhone operation system ? I need this answer for my new phone..

[@davidsegal1078]

Hey mate. I have done exactly the same as you. Got a Samsung tablet and Navionics. It's a no brainer as you say. I also got a tablet at first which did not have GPS and swapped it for the current one. I have a Hunter Landau so can use a tablet mount suckered to my window in front of the helm. Great for Poole Harbour. Also have navionics on my phone as backup. My tablet is removable as I use it in my Freelander 2 with Maps Me installed (free) much better satnav than my car and bigger screen. I will make a sunshade for the tablet to minimise glare. Right on. Dave

[@Sailing360]

you can leave it connected to the usb plug all the time, it will not over-charge, its got battery management, you are thinking about rechargable batteries of the nienties which tended to have that problem.

[@thesaltyboat9422]

OK thanks for that I was always lead to believe keeping a device 100% charged will end up killing battery life as they are made to go between about 30 and 70% that's there Happy spot . But thanks for the information

[@urawiggatard6182]

Nice information, thanks. I'm working on commercial boats out in Taiwan, and Navionics works great

[@AndysEastCoastAdventures]

It really is the way forward compared to dedicated stupidly priced marine plotters. I use a samsung tab A6 in waterproof case with suction mount on mine. Doubles up for entertainment also. Plus the latest update allows the use of wifi ais signals if you install a transponder.

[@bigglyguy8429]

Fun fact; the Tab A8 has no damn GPS! Ask me how I know... yeah, bought it for Navionics...

Nice one Salty, that's just what I was looking for. On my voyage to this point, I came across a guy with an unbelievable set up on his boat, it must have cost ££££'s, and could probably sail itself, and even park. I had no idea there was that amount of gadgetry. If your slightly interested it was this; Navigation Gear and Electronics for a Cruising Sailboat. Thanks again for your realism. Cheers

Hi mate, lots of helpful information you've shared so thanks for that. 👍

[@ClarksvilleTN]

For iPads, you need to get the one that is labeled as Wifi + Cellular. That is the one with gps in it. Has nothing to do with new or old iPad as even the iPad 1 could do gps if you got the cellular version (called wifi + 3g back then). I used my iPad for navigation and it works great with no add-on gps dongle.

[@czopekrz]

Does it mean that iPads without Cellular function will not work?

[@ClarksvilleTN]

@@czopekrz - if you get one without the gps (the wifi+cellular version) they won’t work unless you pair it with something that does have a gps chip like a phone or external gps. Otherwise it will only show maps when you are connected to wifi like in your home.

[@thesaltyboat9422]

Only reason I would change is one if I come in to some money I would buy simrad evo 3 nss12 with halo radar all the same functions but all in one unit with track radar with bird function 😂. But not cheap. Only problem with the tablet is the screen in sun light can be hard to see sometimes but I'm still more than happy with it as it's only the odd day

[@steveriley1952]

Good video mate … well explained

[@rogerkinley1568]

You don't need a gps enabled iPad, if your iPad doesn't have gps just buy a gps dongle and connect to Bluetooth. Cheaper than buying a new ipad and works the same.

[@ianrix4442]

[@johndibiase882]

You can buy a WiFi GPS receiver and pair it with your device if your tablet or iPad doesn't have a built-in GPS. About $150 Canadian dollars buys you one.

Hi there what dose the navionics app look like ??

[@tomlafleur8106]

Hi, Great video. I'm trying to do exactly what you are doing in this video. Using a tablet to run navionics without cell service or wifi. The people at Samsung have no idea about tablets that have the GPS enabled feature to run navionics. My research suggests that the sumsung Tab A model SM-T290 might work or the Dragon Touch K 10" tablet but I can't confirm this with any technical support. Would you be able to determine if any of these models will do what you are doing with the navionics app. Thanks for your help....great videos!! Tom

[@robertbeliech6589]

Dragon Touch Max 10 - did not work for me! First off - "THANK YOU" to Beach and Boat Fishing for making this video. I hadn't realized this was even an option. I'm working on the device now to enable this on my boat as it will be so much better than navigating from my expensive Garmin unit with 5" screen or from my iphone. Now regarding the Dragon Touch Max 10. I bought a Dragon Touch Max 10 from amazon about 3 weeks ago to do this solution as all my research said it would work for this and reviews said they could do remote navigation using the device. However, I was not able to get it to work remotely without wifi connected at all. It works fine and screen was great with navionics when I had wifi signal. As soon as I turned wifi signal off or was out of wifi signal range, the tablet where we were on the navionics maps. NO matter what we tried, we could not get navionics to work without wifi on the Dragon Touch Max 10. I contacted Dragon and they said that device is an assisted GPS model only and must have Wifi signal in order for the GPS to work. Since I liked the tablet, I then bought an external GPS with hope I could use the Dragon and connect via bluetooth to the Garmin external GPS so I could work around the GPS. The Dragon Touch would not maintain a bluetooth connection to the external GPS antenna so that solution would also not work. Based on this, I returned the Dragon Touch Max 10 as it's advertizing regarding it's GPS capabilities is misleading but I will likely get another tablet like the samsung suggested since we know it works. Good luck with the solution. Having a 10" map is so helpful especially on a budget cost.

[@timkurten226]

@@robertbeliech6589 @Tom Lafleur quickly checked that dragon device, find this out.. "The Dragon Touch K10 tablet comes equipped with 16GB of internal storage along with a microSD card slot that can accept memory cards up to 64GB in capacity to expand its digital storage space. Integrated GPS sensor makes navigation possible when you download an offline map to the tablet." So i think u will be fine, if you download maps while in wi-fi.

[@dumagsa]

Nice

[@nickf9024]

Navionics is better than my Lawrence, but I used to have a hard time seeing the tablet in the day, and then too bright at night, blinds you. So I end up w the Lowrance with night mode and bright in the day light. (I have no cabin in the boat, direct sun) . I'd like to give the tablets a chance again if anyone has a fix for these problems or knows a tablet thats super bright.

[@jlbizify]

Hi bud. Thinking of going same route do you need it plugged into power constantly as I believe tablets don't last long due to GPS being battery hungry. Is it OK to have the tablet plugged in all day or while it damage it after a while. Cheers

[@thesaltyboat9422]

And like I also say check spec to make sure it has gps dude

[@bigglyguy8429]

@@thesaltyboat9422 Yeah I did, and the internet lied to me. I told the guy in the store that I needed to double-check, cos he couldn't confirm it. Well I looked online and found 2 sites saying yes it had GPS. No, no it doesn't. You need to rip off the cellophane and read the maker's own manual for the specs, because even the Samsung box mentioned nothing about a GPS sensor. My point is you really need to double or triple check, and don't trust websites showing specs. They're not official and make crap up, plus some models do have GPS on the top-end version but the WiFi or smaller memory models don't. Don't presume a major brand name like Samsung and being brand new means it has a real GPS sensor. Most just use cell tower triangulation, with no actual GPS, which will NOT work at sea.

Ais it can as for radar I'm not 100% sure ide emagen it could work but ide think the kit needed to do so would be more expensive than a radar unit it's self . For example the ais app that you can buy as a overlay is £15 But if you buy the ais unit instead it's about £700 "ocean signal atb1" So tbh ide guess radar you would ovo need a radar dome then if the convertor kit to link to app is approx same price as the ais one would be cheaper to buy a stand allows radar unit.
