The iPhone as a chartplotter

While the rest of the world is going crazy over the iPhone and its App Store, the cruising community seems a bit behind. And that's a bit weird given the fact the iPhone has such an extensive set of capabilities when it comes to navigation. Ben has a nice roundup including some screenshots of Navionics' Mobile Gold, GPSNavX's iNavX, and Navimatics' Charts & Tides. I'm using iNavX myself, this commenter on Panbo basically says it all:



I love my Iphone.I use INAVX
Having a chart plotter in cockpit or my dinghy is fun.
I have had a computer based plotter in the cabin by my Nav station. Though this summer I have left my laptop at home having all the same functionality with the iphone and using much less amp hours.
