I read this article a while back related to how some people are using hardware like the IPAD to help in their navigation during extended cruises. I can definitely see how it would be cool to have navigational charts, personal notes on the e-charts and having a piece of equipment taking up so little space while being so functional.
On the other hand, I can't help but think that it is still very important to keep paper charts of the area being traveled, keeping DR positions on the paper chart and being familiar with the ability to do the traditional navigational methods like the old salts did before such advancements. Never the less, I hope anyone who follows this blog will enjoy this article and find it interesting.

Here is the previous article related to the one above. It has some other cool information on other applications for the Apple Iphone or Ipad.
