As you know the GPS position is sometimes jumping around the real position, so maybe it is worth to wait a bit before raising the Alarm. Anchorage tracking.

We have no IOS products, everything is android and windows… We are contemplating a new navigation system as our old Garmin is dying and there is no support for it, but will probably get another Garmin.

Thanks Carolyn, this is great and timely info, because I start south in March, and plan to be in the Abacos in early May. Thanks for the article, Carolyn. I downloaded the app and will be playing with it to see how it works. I was wondering if your ipad is wi-fi only connectivity. I read a blog written by someone else that stated you need an ipad with 3G connectivity for the GPS.

Thought I would check with you since you are the expert. I feel so inadequate! None of our chart plotters are young enough to even have WiFi.

I assume we will not be able to interface any of this stuff. I already spoke to Garmin about using ActiveCaptain and they laughed. Not just snickers but outright guffaws.

Our iPad is new so at least I can try the Aqua Mapp app and use it when we have internet. I use AquaMap on my iPad without internet all the time. Once you download the maps internet required for that step and set up your settings, you should be able to see your vessel wherever you are, plan routes, and interface with Active Captain. We are newbies, but loving Aqua Map on the east coast.

Their route explorer feature is helpful and also the connection to AIS is a bonus. We use a large iPad with the route zoomed in and a smaller iPad mini with it zoomed out to keep tabs on everything in the ICW. Seems like great software so far! Friends told us about Aqua Map and we used it all throughout the Bahamas. The charts are better then Navionics especially the depth. It saved us many times especially in the Exumas. Will be looking into this for our next trip. Thank you.

The ones you see for the US are vector; the Explorer charts are raster.

Bob, Sorry to bother you with trivial questions but We got a kindle version online how what do we present to Aquamaps? The option is in Setting bottom, right gear icon. The Master option is shown in the Setting list.

We have been studying your book. Our starting point is Southport, NC. We will be using an iPad for navigation. I see tge download instructions. I am somewhat confused on which to download tracks our routes. Thank you, Marcia Lee.

I exported your tracks and imported Them to Navionics but not to Aquamaos what am I doing wrong? I tried to import into Garmin HomePort but get an "unknown read error". DO you know if they should be able to import into HomePort? They import and display in Google Earth so I don't think the files are corrupted. Hello Bob. I recently purchased a Samsung A7 tablet to use on our sailboat. Thanks for your help.
