Get the iPad 3G, which has the GPS you want (fast, good accuracy, works
through GRP overhead). Don't get the non-3G. You don't have to activate the
3G service for the GPS to work.
There are a bunch of nav apps. Check Panbo for lots of discussion.
Navimatics (Charts & Tides) and Navionics offer vector charts (ENCs).
Navionics has route creation; not sure about Navimatics. I don't find route
management easy on Navionics, but it is doable. iNavX has NOAA RNCs (raster
charts), sensor data (e.g., GPS & AIS) from your fixed nav equipment, and
route management.
