Hello and thank you for the information that crossed with the one disseminated by Ipad Nav.
For me it's ordered.
Now to answer Steph's question. IPAD or IPAD Mini.
When I asked myself the question, I debated the subject at length at the Nautic with the people from Ipad Nav, Mr Fustier and Mr Bouyssou. If I understood correctly what I was told :
Ipad mini does not heat up and recharges quickly. Continuous power supply possible without battery loss. Smaller screen but sufficient and comparable to a Raymarine C70 for example. Weight in favor of this model.
IPAD 2 Larger screen than IPAD Mini and similar operation. But not much availability anymore.
Ipad 3 to be avoided because it heats up a lot. Retina screen not justified for the marine application for the rest …..
Ipad 4 The remaining problem would be the battery that does not hold the charge even with the charger on the way when you are at sea for a long crossing.
Anyway on these tips I opted for an Ipad Mini. And it is without regrets to this day. We also win on the price, which is still substantial.
An opinion was desired. Here's one. Only possible reproach but valid for all tablets I think. In direct sunlight it will never be worth a dedicated screen. Except maybe to force the brightness to the maximum. mine is set with the slider to 30% and the selected automatic mode. This is sufficient in the majority of cases and avoids heavy consumption.
