iPad Binnacle Bracket & Cradle
I finally gave in and downloaded Garmin's Bluechart app for my iPad and purchased the East Coast charts. It's a neat application, simple, easy to use, with a good on-line user manual. Unfortunately, this mobile version of Bluechart will only talk to networked Garmin chartplotters and GPS units with wi-fi; it won't import standard format routes and waypoints from other chartplotters and GPS's. In any event, it's a good addition to my main chartplotter (below in the cabin) and paper charts, especially at night. I've encased my iPad in a waterproof case from LifeProof, and mounted it on the binnacle of my IP27 "Turtleheart" with a cradle and bracket from RAM. See the photo captions for product details.
