Anybody use a tablet as their chartplotter/gps?

I have an old Furuno unit and have been looking to replace it. I have seen where folks have used their tablet and downloaded maps and software so figured I'd give it a try.

The free Navionics app is awesome on my iPad. You can download maps(the maps aren't free) with tons of info, route planning, tides, and just a bunch of other information and customize it.

I'm pretty green when it comes to marine electronics, but so far I think this is going to be my primary unit. Put a mount in each boat and super easy to take the iPad wherever.
