I bought Inavx after ready some positive reviews and confirming that it would work with an external GPS. It wasn't cheap at $50 bucks but was a fraction of a boat unit... This plotter was a poor choice for me. The charts are expensive! $300 every two years for the west coast of the US and Canada??? Too much. Also the charts are difficult to select and navigate. this would have improved with the learning curve but I was turned off by the price of the charts.
Just adding my 2c. after being disappointed with Inavx...
I use iNavX on my iPad Air and could not be more pleased. I've been using it for a couple of years, first a supplement to my Garmin 740, and now as primary, keeping the Garmin in the radar mode.
The CHS charts are pretty expensive, but iNavX will display both raster charts and vector charts -- the detail is amazing with the vector charts. I downloaded the Canadian Navionics Canadian 2XG charts from X-Traverse, which includes virtually all Canadian waters, the San Juans, all of Puget Sound and as far south as Portland. It was around 50 bucks and X-Traverse seems to have eliminated the annual subscription fee.
There are as many opinions as there are Apps, but iNavX has worked well for me.
