The only Ipad minis with the GPS chip are the cellular enabled ones... So you need to get one of those... (you don't need acvitate it and get it a cell number) I recommend a Lifeproof case for the iPad to keep it dry. I also use it to stream music to the radio....
If you need a data connection you can always turn your phone into a "hotspot".
Then go to the app store and download the Navionics Boating Marine & Lakes map. Its a $9.99 cost.
Once you get the app on your smartphone/tablet.... In the menu section of the app there is an option to "download Map" to your phone. You make a square over lake Winni and it will physically download that map into your iphone/ipad.
Now you can use the app on the lake without needing that cellular/internet connection that Rich mentioned a post or two above!
I am not a fan of the bolt-in dedicated chartplotters (had a Standard Horizon one that lasted 3 years then quit) but tech changed, it became obsolete and parts weren't available. I have a hard time dropping $300-$500 for tech that will be obsolete...
