Rummy, 



You probably saw my followup to Bob, the cover is excellent, as Mike's is for his iphone.  I can function fully and instant on and off to save the battery.  My ipad is excellent on the battery, and if necessary easily tethered to a usb power source like a cig lighter type plug into 12v socket.

Art, 
How much moisture will the iPad tolerate? I'm not so sure it is suitable   
for a marine environment????????

iPad is  an excellent gps platform.  It is also the best choice for movies, 
music,  and on and on.  A recent cnet article reported that most users do 
not  access 70% of their downloaded apps - in my case very true, although the 
other  30% are really valuable.

Have a nice day!

prefer the GPSMap 478.BK
