Good Day Loopers, I am looking to buy a new tablet for use on the boat. My understanding is that some of them need sell service to get allocation. However, if I am crossing to the Bahamas is there one that has an internal GPS so that I can use this tablet as backup navigation. Therefore, my question is iPad verses Android and which do you recommend? Sorry if this was a recent question that I missed.

David Nice to hear from you I have a iPad 2 with wifi and cell service. Only buy the version that has a cell chip because that one has a real gps chip. Good NAV apps are available on iPad. Try Garmin Bluechart. App is free and maps cost under $50 for North America and Bahamas.
