- frenchman_in_ny 13y agoAs someone who sails, seeing "Correct and reliable homing" scares the daylights out of me, particularly when just referencing GPS on the iPad. You have no way to know how accurate your location is on the iPad, and when it comes to marine use, the outcome can be fairly tragic [1].

- killerpopiller 13y agoit depends. I just returned from a sailing trip and if you are in narrow waters you can compare your position with land marks, bridges, harbour structures and so on. Worked out great. I also used Navionics before, worked great as well. I anchored over a small cable without looking at the iPad and caught it. Navionics displayed the cable under us.
