Seagoing navigation has changed a lot since the days of sextants and chronometers. Nowadays, most cruisers have a dedicated navigation display somewhere in the cockpit. On Pineapple, we do something a bit different.
Here’s the gear that shows up in the video…
iPads: iPad 4th Generation and iPad Pro 9.7-inch (both have cellular antennas—they’re not the Wi-Fi only models—because that’s the only way to get an internal GPS antenna)
Waterproof Case for iPad: Lifeproof Nuud
Navigation Apps for iPad: iNavX (primary), Transas iSailor (secondary), AyeTides XL (for tides and currents), RayControl (for Raymarine AIS and radar)
Nautical Chart Sources for USA, Mexico, and Central America: NOAA Raster (via iNavX), Navionics (via iNavX), Transas (via iSailor)
Rail mount for iPad: Scanstrut Rokk Mini rail mount, adjustable body, and universal tablet clamp
