Just recently we completed a 3 week 400km, (250 miles) BC
west coast Gulf Island sailing trip during wonderful
weather and fair winds. Longest leg was 27nm from Clam Bay via Portier Pass to Mc. Donald Beach located approx. 5 km up the North arm of the Fraser River.
We used
Navionics charts, US and
Canada, in combination with a Bad Elf
GPS and an I Pod Touch for
navigation in addition to paper
charts and a
Garmin 72
GPS. The system worked well but... the IPod Touch is
screen is too small to see clearly.
We're considering
purchasing the larger
IPad Touch for our next trip. Any suggestions, pro's or cons regarding the
IPad Touch?... much appreciated
