Abstract of Tablet Talk
• Many boaters are now using iPads or other tablets, and smartphones as sources or backups for navigation - and for other boating information. In this seminar you will see many different apps demonstrated that cover the spectrum of those available.
• Some apps offer comprehensive navigation functionality, that is, chartplotter-like capability, others are simpler. – Some will offer integrated tides and currents, AIS, and other
utilities that are useful while underway.
• An Apple iPad will be the primary demonstration device. Whether you have a tablet already or are thinking of purchasing one, this talk will help you sort out what is available to you and how effective they are."

Apple versus Android versus…
• Number of Apps – iTunes – Apple – >1.4 Million – Android – Google – 1.6 Million – Windows – Microsoft – >0.3 Million – Amazon – Amazon – >0.2 Million
• User preference prevails – Apple sells 2 out of three – Android catching up
• What device do you already have? • A competition at its finest • Not all apps are available on all platforms

It’s For Safety
1. “The iPad – It is the single best safety device you can have
onboard – It's a backup navigation system and a portable viewer into
hundreds of weather and information capabilities – It's an entertainment device and it'll connect you to your
friends, family, and the community of other boaters – When all the navigation electronics on our boat failed in
2011 (at night, offshore), it was the iPad that guided us and never missed a beat. A disconnected, backup navigation system with its own GPS is critical, in my opinion. The iPad provides all that, and more.”

Apple’s iPad
• First successful tablet; > 300 Million sold • Is a real computer • Huge number of apps • When upgraded with cellphone option, has
internal GPS – Does not need cell connection for true GPS – Also has assisted GPS – AGPS
• Battery lasts 2-3 hrs with internal GPS – Can be charged while using
• Has 10” or 13+” high definition screen

iPad and iPhone (iWatch)
• GPS-equipped model needed
– Or, after-market GPS must be added
– After-market adds WAAS – may extend battery life
• Accuracy
– Usually better than 40 feet
– More likely approx. 16 feet
• Dependence
– GPS-equipped tablets do not need cell tower connectivity

Data Connectivity Options • GPS
– iPad Wi-Fi models need an external GPS source or device
– iPad cellular models often work best with an external GPS source as well (battery drain)
– Connect via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, connector plug • Bad Elf GPS (plug-in or Bluetooth), Dual Electronics (Bluetooth)
• Beware of iOS 8.3 Bluetooth bug
• Other marine instruments
– Bluetooth or Wi-Fi multi-function devices, gateways or multiplexers e.g. iMux, DMK
– Some chartplotters e.g. Raymarine, Simrad
• Remote services
– Network-based data feeds such as AIS, weather
– Require a connection to Internet

2. Primary navigation (usually not endorsed for)
3. Functionality 1. Hazard viewing and avoidance on e-charts
2. Follow boat over selected chart
3. Verify positions with ATONs / Landmarks
4. Pre-plan and save waypoints
5. Build routes from waypoints

It’s For Safety
6. “A smartphone - Android or iPhone – Get an iPad for a tablet because there are better
boating apps with larger screen support for iOS. – For a phone, it's pretty much a toss-up between
Android and iPhone today. Just get one of them because they provide too many useful features.
– They will be your chartplotter for the dinghy. – They're the voice communications centerpiece for
your boat as well as the backup internet connectivity via personal hotspot capabilities.
– Stop using that old flip phone or Blackberry. It's time to move on.”

AIS
• Tablet as display of ‘real’ AIS receiver – No cell data connectivity needed
– VHF Radio with AIS or separate AIS receiver / transponder needed
– DEPENDABLE FOR SAFETY OF LIFE
• Cell Data tablet app as AIS substitute – Will need “cellular data” or WiFi connectivity
– NOT DEPENDABLE FOR SAFETY OF LIFE • May have a delay
• Usually passive
