In the summer of 2011, he began to use the iPad with Navionics Charts. He has used the charts to navigate in Ireland, the UK, France, Spain, Croatia, and the Caribbean.
Eddie has found the iPad indispensable for Passage Planning and excellent for navigation. Navionics were the first company to make charting available as an app for the iPad and have full charting for the world. Eddie will demonstrate using these charts and concentrate using the chart set UK AND HOLLAND HD (Available on the App Store for approx €50. To glean maximum benefit from the course pupils are advised to load this app on their iPad for the course.)
Eddie will demonstrate all the features in a specially prepared slide show showing all the features of the Navionics Charts on the iPad. He will also demonstrate a specific passage plan and get participants to plan a passage using their iPads.
