maretron has a cool app but it only works if you have some of their equipment on your boat and a wireless network, and NMEA data on the network. But then you can see all your NMEA data on the ipad and customize the display screens as you see fit.

I haven't really found much I saw your post title and was expecting to see some good tips but I guess you haven't found much either.

Only one I've seen that is useful is SPEED. I have it on my iphone. -just a gps speedometer, but works great. I searched boating stuff last year and didn't see anything else worth a chit.

Hering has a great prop slip calculator app, you can also get it on the iPhone.

I have both navonics and inavx, by far I prefer navonics. Inavx is too advanced for me.
