I know some of you guys are using it on Ipad, but I have an Android tablet and have heard it is not very good on it.
Any one has tried it on Android? Just curious before buying for nothing!

I have just loaded it onto a Samsung Note and works fine. In comparison to the app on the iphone, I was initially disappointed but it works fine. The big disappointment was not being able to simply tap on the open the info for the lighthouses, beacons etc. Instead the tap opens a cross hairs and you have to move the screen t get the object onto the cross hairs then open the info. Not quite so one handed usable.

Did not buy a tablet yet.............. do not want an Ipad have an I phone and I hate Itune............... find it not user friendly!

Correct, I too find it user vicious and that's why I now use Media Monkey. Allows me to hook up any iPod without giving me the third degree and it's just "drag and drop"

Will try that one!

Unfortunately the Navionics Android app does not currently work on Android tablets, such as the Nexus 7. Works fine on Android phones, so Navionics is being slack about porting it.

Thanks Tommo, I downlaoded the Australasia version onto the Samsung Note and it is superior to the Aust/NZ version. For some rason it is referred to as the Australia South Africa version on the google play store but when downloaded is Australasia. I can now also get the app to work in landscape. Still need to align features in the cross hairs to open the information. Does anyone know which terrain overlay works best with the maps?

One advantage of iPads and iTunes is that they don't have viruses.

Only if you live under a rock and never connect your device to the net.
While it is true that Apple have less virus problems than PC's bear in mind that ALL operating systems are prone to exploitation. Apple, by having complete control of the architecture can and do try that little bit harder to secure their machines.

Windows computers on the other hand are more likely to be targeted by viruses and malware due to sheer numbers in the market place thereby giving the miscreants a higher hit rate for their phishing and other scams.
