It it is accurate. You've got the maps loaded that you need, but if you go someplace you've never been there won't be any maps.Quote:

We have trouble seeing the screen outside on the ipad. We are looking at wireless video from an underwater camera. I don't know if maps would show any better or not.
Another option is an android tablet........you can get one of those with gps way cheaper than a ipad, If you get a ipad you can only load it for free on a second apple device......Same goes for Android.....
Downside of android is I am not sure if they have lifeproof cases and mounts for android.......
I use it on my Samsung Galaxy 10 and it is fantastic. It did cost $50.00 but it is amazing. You do not need a cellular connection all you need is GPS capabilities which is the only reason I went with the Samsung 3 years ago. It was the only on with GPS. I used to velcro the Galaxy to my dash while running and then move it up front with me to get on a spot. I would definitely recommend this app.
