Can anyone help me with a question re. the Garmin Bluechart Mobile App. I am looking to purchase the Garmin Bluechart Mobile App & charts on my iPad air which has an internal GPS (as a backup to Navionics).
Am I correct in assuming that the Garmin app does not show and follow your boat on the ipad as you go unless you have wifi sharing the GPS location from a Garmin marine network (ie. a Garmin chart plotter). Is it a fully functioning stand alone app. or just great for planning.
Also I've read several posts that there are several chart updates per year for which you have to pay each time and they do not tell you what the update covers so there is no way of telling if it affects your specific sailing area.
