Garmin quality
Hey Piston. I am guessing that you should have some damn good accuracy of capture on that receiver. My old garmin Zumo could figure out which way I was facing while sitting down inside of my house. If I rotated in my chair, it did as well. That was high-sensitivity 5+ yrs. ago. What they have now should give even more of an accurate fix. I was thinking about running an external ant. for my new ipad as well, but I have a dedicated gps with bizer chart on board already, I decided to use this more as a moving handheld bizer chart, and loaded it with the brad goodman Lake Winni application. Until I get on the water, I can't say how much I would trust the receiver in the ipad, but I am sure it will be fairly accurate. That being said, any chartplotter in my mind should still be only a reference of where your eyes should see something, though playing the devil's advocate on the use of gps, it is also something to go by when that buoy simply isn't there, or where it is supposed to be.
