Garmin Bluecharts mobile

[Magic Star]

Hi guys, does anyone use the Garmin Bluecharts mobile? I wish to know if purchasing on an iPhone you can use it on iPad without being forced to get a separate licence for iPad. This is the case for Navionics, you buy OR iPhone version, OR iPad version.

Would be silly to pay £80 on iPhone and not be able to use it on iPad!

Navionics lets you use the iPhone version on the iPad but it's limited to small screen. I don't think they can stop you installing the app on the iPad but often it will be in scaling mode so useless.

I have Marine Imray Charts, Navionics and Garmin BlueChart Mobile on my iPad and iPhone. I bought the iPad versions originally and got the iPhone ones automatically (presumably) when I visited the App Store using my iPhone. There are slight differences in the way the apps operate on iPhone (as might be expected with a smaller screen) , but otherwise they all work fine.

More info on all these apps plus MaxSea TimeZero for iPad, is available at routelist.co.uk.
