So for the Navionics app just need a newer ipad with cell capabilities and then purchase the app? Or do you need anything else? Sounds like a good option for back up GPS/ charts.


Wifi only iPads do not have an internal GPS. Cellular capable models do and it functions whether or not you are using the cellular feature.

So, you need either a cellular capable iPad or a WIFI only IPad with an external GPS like bad elf.

In November they were running a 7 day free trial on the charts which worked out great. I liked it enough that I'll purchase the charts before our next trip.
