Which smartphone?

Navionics chartplotter app for android appears not to be updated for ice cream sandwich
yet.

This app from Fugawi, I believe would be excellent for navigation in the UK, USA, Canada and Europe too for the small price.

Hoping they'll update it soon.

I'm running both the old and newish version on ICS. I haven't tried the Navionics HD version but I'm pretty certain you can run that's on ICS too. If app runs on iOS4 it will normally run on iOS5 and if an App runs on Froyo or Gingerbread it will normally run on ICS.

there's the issue of water - the various waterproofing accessories aren't that good - they keep the water but all have some kind of limitations to the usability. .

Not all of them. When this arrives in the UK, I'll probably have mine done

Yes, I'd agree with that - I saw what I think was this demo'ed at a Trade Show last year and it's very impressive - though I do worry about something like Orange Juice getting the phone and things starting grow inside it. I've just bought a Galaxy SIII and this is one of the reasons (if they do the SII then the SIII should follow quickly was my logic) but I was going to get it done when I was in the States next. Are they bringing the process over here or is this going to be a "ship to the States" thing do you know? The bit I don't like is having to send your phone to them.
