I just bought the US one for $9.99....the one that cost $49.99 is the "HD" one...I couldn't tell you the difference in them.
You just buy it off the "PLay Store" app once you get the tablet...it should be already on the tablet

Does the navionics app automatically pan as you drive on the iPad? Or any tablet for that matter. The app on my old droid I had to pan manually.
Let us know how it works out kuger. I was about to go buy a lowrance elite 7 but if this works out I may go this route. Seems cheaper anyway.

The one for 9.99 on Apple is for the IPhone App....the one for 49.99 for the IPad HD app does have a better pixel rate because of the larger screen. Better detail can be noticed when using the satellite background. Not sure on the android play store.

Ok I have been researching and asking around and can't seem to get any real stright answers. According to the guys at best buy there is no way to use gps on any tablet without having internet connection or paying a monthly payment. If I'm gonna have to pay a monthly payment it's gonna be a deal breaker for me.
Is there anyone using a tablet with navionics without being connected to the internet and without paying a monthly payment to AT&T or Verizon or such? If so what device?

From what I've read on the Internet I don't think that the guys at Best Buy really knew what they were talking about but I'm having a problem finding somebody that does.

I'm thinking no. This is what google maps does with no cellular and no wifi (stand on your head to read)

From what I've read some tablets have internal gps and some don't but the guys at best buy said none do.

On my way to work yesterday I had the navionics app open on my Samsung Tab2 and the little arrow was moving as I drove. I do not have a wireless provider for the tablet but it does have an internal GPS. I was not able to get a map overlay to work on it because I didn't have a internet signal.

Okay guys maybe I can clear this up for you. All you need to do is connect your tablet to Wi-Fi at your house go to the lake that you want it will automatically download that map. You are correct it will not do the map overlays which is the satellite view however it will show the lake and everything around it for instance the grass and buildings and such will just be yellow which is fine because you're just using this for a lake. The GPS will work without Wi-Fi and without cellular so the guys at Best Buy need to find a new day job.:laugh: I turned off all cellular data and Wi-Fi on my iPad and the GPS worked just fine it moved around all over the map as I was driving as well as it showed correct miles per hour. Cellular data does help tremendously on the satellite imagery a.k.a. map overlays but it's not necessary. I hope this information helps if you have any questions feel free to give me a holler.
op: we could also work out a deal if you know where the fish are at at the U.S. Open you can ride your boat next to me and use my Wi-Fi as a hotspot! :laugh:

Lets see one mounted on y'all's boat. Just curious about the size and look. Sounds a lot better than 3000.00 for the lowrance I was lookin at.
