[Rhodes22-list] GPS Choice

[Cover-Man]

If you go for it, Chris, you will never regret.  I opted for 32k for video space, although now not necessary with excellent devices available for streaming like the Seagate GoFlex Satellite, with 500g of reliable streaming.  While the Fire and Nook look like reasonably and more budget-wise substitutes to the iPad, they fall way short on things you will want to use.

Have a nice day!

The iphone is too small for this app to function as a meaningful navigation tool but it's fun to play with and didn't cost too much.  I am sure the ipad would be a much better platform to use this type of app for navigation and would also provide a number of other useful tools such as weather and ais.

I use this to see what large ships might be headed my way on the Chesapeake Bay.  The cost is less than $10 for the iphone and its fun to use.  The ipad would provide a better screen view.
