Another great episode. Just to clarify Samung's tablet capability. In 2014 I bought a Samsung Tab S 10. 5 (TM-T800) which means it has a 10.5 inch screen, Wifi and a built-in GPS. It has no mobile phone SIM slot. After downloading Navionics, we've navigated the Grenadines, BVI, and Lake Ontario, far out of range of any cellphone service and the GPS worked with no difficulty. I keep Navionics on my Samsung phone as backup, which is sometimes more convenient. The charter boats we rented in the Caribbean were all equipped with high end Chart Plotters, which were complex and prone to breakdowns (like on our final approach into Anegada BVI's coral choked harbour). We switched these these off in favour of the Navionics. It's never let us down, as long as it's kept charged.
Again, great job on the videos.
Another great video can't believe you're close to 50 episodes they just keep getting better with information especially about navionics very interesting and up-to-date information thank you so much for sharing fairwinds
Thank you for the detailed explanation of Navionics and the tablets that you use. I'm just getting back into boating after a decade away and everything has changed for the better.Again, Thanks.
Very good tutorial on navigation. I’ve seen it done it read about it but I liked the way you demonstrated everything in real time. I watched 3 times thanks again!
I think even your earlier less experienced efforts are still creditable. All a learning curve.
Thanks ❤️
First I'd like to thank you for reviewing the technical requirements for tablet used for navigation. I didn't know that you didn't have to have a SIM card to have GPS capability. With regard to your comments about Chartplotters, my Raymarine Axiom +9 is a Chartplotter and so much more. It is an MFD or multi function device. It is the primary display for every device on my Raymarine network, including the autopilot, the AIS and depth gauge. It cost $1200 but I think it was worth it because it does so many things.
Great video, remembering what it was like from our circumnavigation in the 1980s, presently cruising the Bahamas. My wife's book is a good read, published by Austin Macauley of New York, literally a fictional story of sailing and adventure: "Seychelle and the Cannabis Yachties". It is very entertaining, hoping you will give it a read.
Hi Tim, there is very old method to estimate the timing of tide. When the moon is at the horizon (both rises or sets), that's the lowest tide and it's going to rise. When the moon is at the highest above head, it's highest tide and start to decede. Also true the tide is at highest when the moon at the opposite of the earth. Roughly repeats 12 hours cycle. Then there is a king tides at new or full moon. And the last, moon rises about 50 minutes late every day.
Great way of explaining, great voice quality and simple!, well done & thanks for sharing.
Navigation home run. That aluminum barbecue tank deserves a paint job. Precious.
Navionics will let you update or even change your chartplotter chip's map set for $99/yr. I reference this episode often and have shared it to several social media groups.
Coming here after binge watching tons of your newer videos. Such a huge quality difference, you are clearly going in the right direction !
Still, thanks for the video, love it
Thanks for sharing. Thought that was Zac and Lindy from Holiday. Great couple.
Best explanation of GPS within iPad. Thanks!
We connect our tablets, even though they have GPS chips, to our Vesper AIS for GPS. It seems more reliable because the tablets seem to have occasional troubles keeping a tight fix. Also look into OpenCPN, which includes such things as routing software, Grib overlays, and very, very good Pilot Chart data… much more recent than any printed book, and it’s free.
Nice videos.
Brilliant. I really enjoyed the navigation part about Navionics I was just trying to figure that all out last night and I ran into this video today.Thanks.
Thanks for a great review video. Have downloaded this app. Hopefully it’ll be all I need for sailing in my areas. I have a sailboat with 5’ draft so depth are very important to me.
Great video, thanks Tim and Candice we appreciate you sharing!
Awesome. Thanks Tim, this info on navigation was a huge insight for me. One of your best info vids yet!
The Maryland School of Sailing youtube channel has started a 5 part series on electronic navigation.
thank you for that
Fantastic job explaining navigation with navionics!! Good tip regarding cellular iPad vrs just wifi ipad.
Universal truth.... The women hold the cash.
Awesome video! This helps us with our preparation so much. Look forward to customs😎
Love how imperfect the editing and stuff is, makes it more real!!!! Another great show!!
Well done, I've been doing some searching for what would work best for me. Keeping in mind that money is a huge factor, the search for a lost cost cell tablet begins.
Great episode! Thanks for posting.
Great!! I have been wandering about this for a year now. Your simple education vids are great for us newbies trying to figure this out on their own. Big help. Thanks lol, just realized this is and vid.
I'm a bit late to this party. Last year (2023) I sailed across the Pacific in a B&G equipped boat. We had on board 4 cells phones, a cellular iPad Mini with Navionics and of course the B&G. They all agreed all the time. I could compare my iPhone 12 with the B&G and they always agreed. I put Navionics on my iPhone during the sail, but it used up so much bandwidth that I had to shut it down, B&G and the iPad Mini had more priority.
I also have a 6th generation iPad with WiFi only. At my house, at my desk, 4 feet from my WiFi router the iPhone is spot on, the iPad is okay, but drifts around and then settles on a spot within about 100' (28m). There can be a lot of rocks and shallow spots within 28 meters, especially in a 20 meter channel. Going to upgrade my iPad.
Lady K, Thank you for such an easy to follow navigation tutorial!!! Well-done!!!🙏
Excellent instruction, instructor!
Thank you very much, a very clear and easy demonstration, valuable information. Have a safe sailing.
Excellent video...answered many of the questions I had. Much appreciated.
Great information! Just what I needed to know. Thank you!
Thanks! Great episode!
New to Navionics, awesome video captain! Very simply put, understandable. 👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing
great navionics walkthrough, thanks!
Great video!! Nice to see your bride finally!
Great nav info. Thanks!
Great Job Lady K
Great video!keep up the Great videos...from Nova Scotia ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great information thanks for sharing
Awesome channel!! Great information, much appreciated.
Thanks for watching!
That was great info, i really enjoyed the software demo - all stuff us land lubbers would have no idea about otherwise.... keep up the good work!
Thanks, good info! I started with Navionics last year. got a 10 inch Samsung S2 tablet that has GPS built in, not the cellular version, for about $200 new. I think the Navionics was only about $25 per year, but don't quote me. It will also show wind info if it has an internet connection. I use wifi hot-spot on my phone to let the tablet connect, works fine. I don't know if you can do this in the Bahamas..
Amazing, thanks!
Great information. Thanks
Great video. Very helpful for us. Thank you.
Thanks for posting. Beautiful. Wondered if that was ever gonna happen... Ladies aboard. Maybe fresh. Good luck.
Awesome information
Another really great video!! Thanks!!
Great nav lesson so much info.
Excellent!
Great vid, thanx.
or just get a samsung that has GPS built in, and opensea which is free and all the maps, I use as a backup to chartplotter
Great video! We have Navionics and have also used AquaMaps with the Explorer Charts in the Bahamas and find them to be the most accurate platform over the last few years.
Garmin is now linked with active captain. You can down load and transfer charts and there not that pricey. I use the ipod as a backup. I have found that if you do a little digging, you can find charts for free in a lot of areas. Great vedio! Very informative. Looks you two have recovered from the sinking like pros. Haha. Peace from Allegro.
Thanks I learned a bunch
Great vid guys awesome info on the iPads and the navionics Tim. Cheers guys congrats on your new channel Candace
Really good stuff. Keep it up
This is a wonderful video, It is so very helpful. Thank you for sharing, I now have a good idea what to look for. Also want to thank everyone comments which are also very helpful. Save Sailing
Candice has such a great smile!
Looking good
thanks good info!
Really helpful info on the charts, thanks very much, puts my mind at ease about using an ipad, and keeps some coins in my pocket! Thanks again appreciated! :))
Love your videos. Very informative. If viewers already have an I pad that’s not cellular they can purchase an external GPS receiver. I have a Sky Pro Dual gps. Like you said it will blue tooth to your iPad or phone. I also have simrad evo 3 chart plotter. The iPad is faster, easier to plan and make routes. When navigating I leave the Simrad alone and do everything on the I pad. Really only need the Simrad for radar and fish finder. Good for back up also. 2 is one, one is none. I turn the screen off on the iPad when not needed.
That bluish line or course line is called Magenta, ma gent as in gentlemen ta. Magenta, Navionics is pretty reasonable price for what it has to offer. I use an aviation software when flying that cost $200.00 a years called Foreflight a lot cheaper than the old charts of yesteryear. 🤣🛫
Hello very usfull for us new sailers thanks
you are the best
Tim, appreciate your postings. I do a lot of comparative research, but you're often on the money with good advice. Any chance you can do a post on best resources for internet coverage while out on the water offshore. (Ocean Crossing)?
I forgot to mention the Lady K logo is now my background screen on my iPhone it looks great
You’ve sold it to me! Hope Navionics give you a free license! Nice one!
Uncle John here. Hi professor Tim , most excellent video very insightful . Hi CandiceI know your channel is for women but I am curious and I am going to check it out
Good one Tim Apple. :P
Love the video! Thank you so very much for the info on Navigation. A couple of questions....please confirm if this same use of tablets works worldwide? How much information, as in how many charts can be downloaded? Thanks again! Fair winds!
You Awesome!!
Grt information on Navionics Tim . About the spots that have moorings in George town area do you think one can tie a 40 foot power boat 15000 lbs/6800 kg .
Hey yes you wouldn’t be the biggest boat there. We saw 100,000 plus boats in those fields. No problem
I’m an IPhone guy. As a landlubber I normally use Waze for upcoming hazard information and waypoints combined with IPhone maps for traffic info and Accuweather back and forth on road-trips. I’ve never studied sea navigation in detail although I’ve been on the water plenty. (As a scout and Army vet I do have plenty of land navigation and map and compass training).
In twenty minutes you’ve given me everything I need to feel that I know how to proceed with my education so cheers for that from New Orleans!
Awesome! Glad it helped :)
total matter of preference.... i use a android tablet cheaper easy to use. been using the same one for 2 years and that's not true android tablets come with gps chips just like ipad ...and remember to download maps before your trip if you don't have cell service .. if all you are using the tablet for is Navionics then i say go android with a good all weather case ... allot of people use ipads and that's fine but the expense is not necessary.
When you download navioncs and you pay your yearly subscription does that have unlimited map downloading
@@davidkilgore9212 Yes you can download maps until your subscription runs out
You can continually download updates on Navionics for the coverage area you paid for. The areas do have laeg coverage. Also, agree about Android. To me, it's easier than iPad and does come with GPS in non-cell units. Navionics works the same. It's all a matter of what you are more comfortable with.
@@1detroitryder So when your subscription runs out, are all your charts deleted?
@@ALSmith-zz4yy no for the first year I didn't renew I renewed last year and this year I renewed for 15.00
Great episode guys. Very informative on navigation and I will follow your advice as a backup from my chart plotter
BTW Candice, looking good in the bikini 👙 lol.
Another great video. Do you place your iPads and iPhones in waterproof cases or sleeves?
Thanks for the demo on the nav. software. Seems same principle with land based. I used very old Samsung pad with gps chip pre downloaded maps went to French River in Ontario last year. Works perfect. One question, how and if that can be integrated to your autopilot
My chart plotter was 500 cad and has charts for all of usa and Canada
Hi. just come by your channle..
I am an old liveaboard in qld Australia.
1. I tell eveyone never go in a blow. So i think you are doing the right thing and just sit it out. 2. I all ways ues my mobile phone and yep my faverite app is navionics. it is simple to use and userfreendly.Another app i like is boat becan it is more so used as AIS and it is used around the world and the naveys. So please check that app out.
Gerard.
How do you tie in your autopilot and plotter to handle the route for you? Crucial if you are going at night.
Great video, would love you to give KnowWake a test drive when you get the chance - we're sure you'll like it!
I just found you guys. Awesome content and you deliver it perfectly.
G'day from Sydney AU....Just wondering if you can hook up Navionics to some type of autopilot ?
You can get island power from solar. Don't need diesel.
I've got a question... Can you mark way points? And is is also able to save routes ?
How do you get live data on where your are? The GPS on iPads is called assisted GPS which is not the same as a Global Positioning System's like Garmin uses. Right?
Thank you. Do you have anything like depth, speed,water temp, ais Sent to the tablet? Thanks mike
you might want to look into your uploads. The last 5 or so episodes for me have lost audio at some point or have had no audio at all. Ive checked multiple browsers and have the same issue. Only place I dont is on my phone.
Great primer on Navionics , don't you wish the hard plotter guys made it so easy ! And cheap!
What about currents associated with the tides? We always used a small booklet with the currents at a certain state of tide at a specific location.
They are so hard to find . It would be nice to have on an Ipad!
Does anybody use Kerosene for cooking? It was the go to fuel long ago available anywhere and used a lot on shore too.( primus stoves) more of a hassle to use though.
I hear propane filling adaptors are a problem in non USA based locations!
Cheers Warren
Hey yes sure do. No one is as good as apple at making things easy imho. We guess at currents based on inlet location. Getting pretty good at it after the icw experience. Haven’t seen any kerosene but if bet someone is using it. We haven’t had any trouble with propane yet fingers crossed :)
Would all recent iPhones serve the same purpose, just with a smaller screen? Would they also connect to satellite GPS when there is no Wi-Fi or cell signal?
What weather forecast/wind predict app/software would you recommend, is there anyone that communicates with navionics so you can set a heading according to both?
What were the warning triangles near your destination?
I heard they took the “air draft” out of Navionics
I m buying iPad Galexecy where it has GPS and than I will download charts maps in details. Because my plan to sail.to Cape Horn nonstop from Hawaiian islands and beoind around the world ⛵ 🌎. Navionics the best I would say .Thank you for the video .
Great vid. Im wondering if you had to pay for Navionics on each device? Or were you able to just purchase it once and download it free to the other Ipad and iPhone? Thanks and safe travels!
Hey. Buy it once and log into every device with the same Apple ID. :)
Great video, and great videos in general! A lot of good information! After 4 years do you have any updates to add to this video regarding the latest version of Navonics and how it’s working out for you? Is there an update video perhaps on the horizon to bring things up to date with the ever changing iPad tech specs and the apps updates themselves? Keep up the great work!!
2 questions - would the Navionics thing interface with an auto-pilot? What is the preferred currency where you have been?
Not sure how to make it talk to an autopilot sorry. All of the Bahamas uses American money
I haven't been aboard since covid In the UK. Amazingly, just to add to the hurt, the year lost completely matches the last Navionics license I bought.
BUT the boat I use has modern b&g and last time out my Navionics discovered and kept asking me to pair with the plotter. The plotter was aware of my Navionics too...
Yeah.you can plan routes on the tablet..... Upload to the plotter.... Engage the autopilot and put up some sail or engine and go to sleep...... If only we had that self tacking Jib we could play shuffleboard on deck.
So it does this over WiFi, but I expect it works, to varying degrees, with raymarine, garmin and lowrance.... And even older versions of the kit that talk nmea2k.
No. Navionics doesn't interface with autopilots directly.... Never will because the instrumentation firms would go to the wall.
I can see potential for a raspberry pie Navionics buddy app driving some servos and a tiller pilot.
Probably in a pipad3..... But not by me. My sailing time is too valuable.
