iPad and AIS works really well. I have a Digital Yachts AIS wireless box which talks via NMEA to my Raymarine Nav system. The wireless bit lets my iPad talk to it as well. I use an app called iNavX which in turn uses the Navionics charts.
The iPad is housed in a tough all weather case and can be used on deck in the wet.
See the page on this blog I have done on navigation for more info. Pleased to see that the blog is of interest.

Trip across the Pentland Firth was fine as we did it on neaps. No overalls.
Wick – not so pretty – but welcome on the way south. Buckie tomorrow.

You were about 30 odd miles from where I grew up!
Great trip so far, then – glad you’ve had a few hours off to see Orkney – magic place! Fingers crossed for those winds to stay in the North.

Regards from all of us here at DFC (beavering away!!)

Do you just use an app or do you have to purchase an additional receiver?
