Their chart prices are high, but far closer to the O-charts end of the scale than the "buy individual ENCs/paper" end of the scale.

Where you expect to sail will often determine which charts you need, and that can filter the apps. Since I also run all-Apple hardware, what I use might work for you.

If OP can leave his phone plugged in and running this, then both iPad and Macbook should be able to consume the location data. The heading data might even be accurate.

Shame, looks like the BadElf had a steep jump in price, so $180 vs $500 is a great deal more than $30. Might as well buy a cheap Android tablet at that price.
