Default Tablet vs gps

As for the question at hand, I think a tablet would do most of your
navigation needs in a boat and the main issue would be the packaging.
If you are running a dry cruising boat like Wayne it should be fine
but in a CC fishing boat you want something tougher.

Navionics on a large smartphone in a ziploc baggie works pretty well,
even in the dinghy.
