Anyone tried the iIAS App for the iPad yet. I down loaded the App but now it needs a wi-fi AIS receiver to receive the signal and pass it to the iPad wirelessly.
Before buying the a receiver it would be good to hear if it is easy to set up and does it work properly. Any experiences would be appreciated.
Cheers

If you have a chartplotter and an Ipad or want to do all your navigation with the iPad and want to get AIS, then I would reccommend getting Digital Yacht's iAIS wifi AIS transmitter. But I would also reccommend getting iNavX and the charts so your iPad runs like a chartplotter and the AIS info is overlayed on the chart.

If you just want to use the AIS app, then you could get the NASA AIS radar as a standalone bit of kit which you can read in the sunshine.

or as an overlay

Snooks Your screen shot is the Navionics App not INAVX . The problem with INAVX is that tides and particularly currents are not directly supported by the App.
 
No the screen shots are iNavX, I know that because I have both, but navionics app won't overlay AIS data but iNavX will. Your confusion comes from the fact I'm running Mavionics charts on iNavX :)

Tide data for iNavX comes from a plug in, which cost around £6 IIRC :)

Would the plug in be Ayetides?

Then a little help please is this plug in aye tides or is there something I have missed because I can get currents at a diamond with Navionics App but not with Navionics charts and Inavx.
 
It is ayenav but I don't know whether it works in the UK. In the blurb on the app description it says something about being predominately US based which is why I never got around to buying it.

Guess you still need to buy the Navionics app for tidal info :(
