New app I found for Ipad and Iphone

Post by Struts and Rudders »

Hello all,
Was just turned onto a new free app.
search isailor
Looks pretty simple and I was told by a friend that it works pretty good as well.
You do have to buy maps for your area...cheap current electronic maps.
Florida to mid atlantic was $ 4.99

The best free one I've found is put out by Jeppesen which also makes IFR & VFR aeronautical charts. It includes a basic database with the option of purchasing professional charts. The charts for my area are $38 compared to $150 for my Garmin charts for the same basic coverage.

It also gives you the option of loading weather overlays and provides all of the standard functions of a marine GPS but on a large platform like my iPad. It is called Plan2Nav.

I will check out iSailor to see how it compares.

That looks nice as well.
Also just found boating suite, this is a good one too, though not currently offered for Ipad.
