What applications do you recommend for boat navigation?

The choice is huge, all the navigation apps available for Android 10 are usable. The most common are:​​​​
Navionics Boating, Aqua Map Marine (a special offer is available when purchasing the tablet), C-Map, Savvy Navvy, OpenCPN, Qvtlm.

​​​​
You can also use routing applications like: Sailgrib WR, our favorite: don’t forget to test the 90 days free premium version when buying your tablet, or Avalon Offshore.

​
For the rest, there are quite a few interesting ones: Windy for wind forecasts, SailfreeGPS for displaying different data (and the anchorage alarm function). In terms of anchorage alarms, there is also My Anchor Watch or Sailgrib AA.
