[Rhodes22-list] using a tablet for navigation

[Peter Nyberg]

Like Tom said, my iPad is usually on the galley counter, where it is in the shade most of the time.  For times when I want to be able to see it while manning the tiller, like when coming into an unfamiliar harbor, I use components I bought from Ram Mount (https://www.rammount.com) to attach the iPad to the underside of the bimini.
