I am looking for a PC chartplotter with tides for use in passage planning. I have Navionics on both ipad and iphone but it does not appear that they offer anything that offers communication between them and my laptop/home PC.
I have Belfield chartplotter but it is rather simplistic and uses raster charts.
The RYA uses a Nuno vector chartplotter which is excellent but does not incorporate tidal information.
All answers very welcome.

IMO, the best PC navigation software is the Open Source OpenCPN but it won't integrate with Apple/IOS.
You would also need charts.
Apart from that its free.
Here's the web address www.opencpn.org
Shame you are on IOS - OpenCPN was "ported" across to Android recently - PC and Android systems integrate well.
It seems that OpenCPN runs on all platforms except IOS
