Marine Navigation: 2024 iPad Pro vs iPad Air - Is the Extra Cost Worth It for Screen Brightness?

It's time to upgrade our iPad for navigation aboard our Bayliner 4788. With Apple just releasing a new line up, we couldn't decide between the Air or the Pro. So, we bought both.

Our goal was a better screen display when outside - would the $450 price difference between the 13" models be worth it?

While we use our Garmin MFD for radar, depth sounding and back-up navigation - we have used an older 11" iPad Pro for running navigation apps like Navionics, AquaMaps and Argo.

Join Chris for his geeky comparison of the two, and learn which we returned and which we're keeping.

Check out his even geekier blog version of this video for more, and maybe he'll even update it later on with notes (don't count on it):

We're Cherie & Chris and we've been full time technomads since 2006. We are owned by Kiki (meow).

We have a fleet of nomadic vessels that we split our time between - a 1961 GM 4106 vintage bus, a 1999 Bayliner 4788 motor yacht and a 2020.5 Travato GL van conversion. You'll find RV, van and boat life content here, as we feel inspired to share - sometimes topical, sometimes travelogues, sometimes just hanging out.

We love sharing a slice of our life with others, and also blog at https://www.technomadia.com, Facebook and Instagram. We use the name 'Technomadia' in all those places. Come join the adventure however you choose!

Income generation is NOT a goal of ours under the 'Technomadia' brand - we do this for fun.

Our full time 'job' is running the Mobile Internet Resource Center, where we track and educate RVers and cruisers on their options for keeping connected. Come join us at http://www.RVMobileInternet.com for news, guides, reviews and courses. We also have a dedicated YouTube channel    / mobileinternetresourcecenter   you can subscribe to. Through member funding, we can give away a lot of free content - and our members get even more.
