iPad app

This is a great app and doesn't need cell coverage. I use this app primarily with my iPad 2 which is the 3G version but I don't subscribe to the wireless plan (this version has in internal GPS which is required). Also works great on my iPhone 4S which does have cell service. Note that the entire map is resident on the application so it doesn't need a connection to render (unlike Google Maps) so you don't need cell coverage.

At $35 it's the most expensive app I've purchased yet... but by far the most useful.

Last night was the supreme test for the iPhone with the winni app Bizer version. We bought the app hoping that it would help us when we get disoriented at night (it happens eventhough know the route). We also bought a gps unit that plugs in to the iPhone as we weren't getting accurate readings from the cell phone tower. The gps is made by Bad Elf and it reads from the gps satellites.
Well, it was rainy and dark last night and we did get off course. The app worked perfectly and reoriented us. What you see on the screen is a small boat (you) as it moves along the Bizer chart.
