Navionics ipad app

Navionics US East app on my Droid seems to be working fine just now.

Works fine for me?

I love mine (droid)..works great had to use it a coulpe of times when fuse blew to HDS

No problems here either (Droid) and iPad.

Which droid tablet are you all using? Would you make that choice again? (w/r to navionics)

Sorry for the confusion, I'm using a Droid PDA (phone) plus and iPad.

Same here. My droid is a phone. I have been looking and thinking about a Samsung tablet though. Any intel from a Samsung tablet user would be appreciated.

The Acer Iconia looks pretty good at only $299. Biggest "con" reported on cnet is that it's a little heavier than the rest of the pack. But in a harsh environ that may be a "pro".

It runs "Honeycomb" which is one of the android variants endorsed by Navicon. Sure would be nice to hear from someone with such a setup.

Ipad

my son went thru three Samsung Galaxy's in 4 weeks due to battery failure and each time the store said they were getting alot back.

Stick with an Ipad and for an engineer I find EarthNC for $19.99 is good for the Ipad or Iphone but I am not driving

Eric, I know you're asking specifically about the Samsung, but I can highly recommend the ipad. Both are user friendly, but you'll love how intuitive the Ipad is.

I looked at the Ipad2 yesterday at Sam's Club for the millionth time. I guess I should just buy one. Thanks for the advice Jeff.

If you are in no rush to buy one, Apple historically has updated the ipad for mid march and all of the rumors point to an ipad 3 making an appearance pretty shortly .

When you say "old Navionics", I'm not sure what you mean. If you go to their site, there's a link for the current software available specifically for the iPad. Is also available directly from the App Store on your iPad. It's called the Navionics Marine & Lakes HD. It's available for many portions of the world, just pick what's applicable to you.

If you need more help, PM me and I'll send you the links.

When you go to the app store, it should show the version you have installed and the new versions available (marine/lakes HD). I ran/run the older version you have on my laptop and it still works fine, not sure why it's not working for you. You can try to reinstall it, if you find it in your app store (it should say "already installed").

All of that said, I would still upgrade to the new HD version. It's an incredible difference. The added features are awesome (too many to list here), plus the image quality is greatly improved. Sure, it's about $50, but well worth it in my mind.

Back to the discussion on best tablet for Navionics - I'd still like to hear about anyone's experience using an android tablet. Here are my problems with the Ipad

1. Double the price (of Acer, etc)
2. No video out option - Most of the others have HDMI out to display on a larger flat screen.
3. No memory card slot - if you want to give someone some data or a photo, you have to email it or sync to a pc and then xfer to mem card
4. No way to directly print from an Ipad
5. You can load apps ONLY through the ITunes store. With android, you can store apps (for example) on an SD card and install/uninstall anytime.
