South pacific Nav program for Ipad/ Mac book

[NorthPacific]

ANy recommendations on a Nav program that will run as a back up on my new Ipad. I use a Garmin plotter in the cockpit? So many to choose from?

I use navionics and am reasonably happy with it.

Not sure the extent of the South Pacific you are considering, but for me in North Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef I find Navionics is spot on.

for cheaper version:
- Garmin Bluechart Mobile
- Navionics (check region)

I prefer iNavx, we just think about this region and I install this charts
As my experience with iNax - it's work perfect, but unfortunately - no integration with ActiveCaptain or similar POI program

Garmin - has POI, but not easy to integrate, You can't for example upload Track from e-mail, or overlay weather received by satellite mail. Interesting - Garmin really think - we sail just coastal when 3g? :-)

iNavx do this perfect, for example You can receive from SailDoc Grib using X-Gate and Iridium or Inmarsat from You iPad and open it in iNavx, but not in Garmin or Navionics

Just few world more - old verion (very old) of Navionics always store charts and updates on You device, with last just I - at least 3 time lost all downloaded sectors, You must check exactly before You go to the Sea, what You really have

I don't know about Garmin (not long time experienced)
iNavx store all charts and never in my practice lost it when updates

in fact - Navionics now just for search marinas and contact details, not for navigation
iNavx - perfect, my Garmin 4008 not better, use it 2 years
