The chart plotter will have the maps you need. You can still bring your hand held as a backup but I doubt you will even turn it on.

I regularly use my iPad with Navionics in spite of having chart plotters on board

So for the folks using Navionics on an iPad or tablet, is the iPad directly attached to the internet or attached to a hotspot or mifi?
We've had trouble keeping internet access to keep the navionics working once we leave a harbor. Most boats have had a chart plotter we've used successfully but I'd love to have the backup but haven't been able to make it reliable under sail.
