Ok. I know absolutely zero about marine instruments. But my neighbor who is a professional mariner as well as a boat enthusiast has an Ipad as his backup chartplotter. He has traditional instruments on his boat. All are mounted at the helm and both could be used at the same time.
He claims the Ipad is better. I checked it out. You can buy software for about $30. The Ipad needs to be cellular enabled so that it has the GPS chipset.
Also, neighbor's boat is a 43' trawler. Big ticket item. He didn't do this to cheap out.
