The advent of digital charts revolutionizes this critical resource in marine navigation and enables you to move beyond paper charts. The iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone delivers a truly portable medium for digital charts that can easily fit in your pocket or bag.

Add a highly accurate Bad Elf GPS for marine navigation to your iPad or iPod touch. Experience fast satellite lock times and free yourself from dependency on cellular towers for Assisted GPS used by the native iPhone and 3G iPad GPS.  A Bad Elf GPS ensures accurate placement of your vessel on digital charts to better navigate around hazards and find the exact spot previously marked for that prize tuna.

Keep your iOS secure, dry, and powered to enjoy the great iOS marine apps while on the water. We have collected some of our favorite options to help you get the most out of your time on the water.

Mounting Accessories

RAM Mount makes some of the best mounting options available for your device. RAM Mount offers an online tool to find a base and cradle perfect for your boat and iOS device.

Charging Accessories

The micro-USB cable included with your Bad Elf GPS powers your iOS device while connecting your Bad Elf GPS to a power source. You may need USB compatible power adapter to enable charging on your vessel.

Many boats come equipped with a marine grade 12V outlet. With access to a marine grade 12V outlet, a simple vehicle cigarette lighter USB power adapter enables power to your iOS device and Bad Elf GPS. Please note that the iPad requires more power than the iPhone or iPod touch when charging. If you own an iPad, be sure to select a USB adapter specifically designed for the iPad. If your boat does not have an outlet, you will need to explore optional aftermarket kits.
