I initially posted this in the wrong place, under Maintence so I'm sorry for any duplication
I recently received an ad for the new I-Pad which looked like it might have the capability to work as a GPS. Possibly with a much larger screen and at a lower price. I don't paticularly want to chart waypoints or anything, I just want to miss the rocks and shoals.
So, I did what any person my age would do and I asked my son. He replied "there's an app for that!" and provided me with several web addresses:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/trans...398456162?mt=8

He also cautioned me that while some of these look really good they are in the business of selling their product and I should ask other sailers what their experiences have been using a i-pad or similar device as a GPS.
Does anyone have any experience with this or suggestions?
