And contrary to what others are saying, the rugged tablet market is - I think - burgeoning - think of Sailproof and Rugged Tablets NZ as well as the obvious manufacturers of devices intended for slaughterworks, military and surveying, yes I grant you none of them saline environments.
There is probably on this website a separate tab for tabletty things.

Hi Chelsea, been a few days writing govt policy papers ... one does what one can to live.
In answer to your immediate question - and in doing this we may achieve the apparent limit - I would never use a solution that involves anything other than Windows when the problem is more than 24 hours offshore.  That way you can set up downstairs and upstairs solutions with Expedition potentially separate i.e. installed independently on both devices and having the possibility of GPS input separately.  Sure, 6 hour race, who cares if the iPad doesn't behave properly?  Walk downstairs or use your phone w Navionics.
And yes, I'm accustomed to wet boats whose electronics are dodgy after a year or so .... generously.
Try PM'íng again if you wish.  Campbell Field definitely has a greater wealth of experience in these things than moi.

Do not touch Samsung tablets for marine applications.  PM me if you want the details.
Also, as noted by Sparky, the only way to use Expedition on them is via emulation software, and Splashtop for Android, while it works, hasn't been updated in some time.

Kite, there is certainiy an error there.  As Barne suggests, do speedo and compass calibrations as a first step.  Until they are in good shape, nothing else matters.
Presuming this to be a recent problem, also find your compass in the boat and check it isn't loose and no metal has mysteriously been placed near it.

I get them from dive shops.  They can be a bit hard to find, but https://www.scubadoctor.com.au/diveshop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3541 claim to have them.

That utility exists within the KND suite, and very nice too ..... however I find a waterproof notepad and pencil more robust and flexible.

Matt, I think I follow you ..... but I may have it wrong.  If you set the current mark = your destination, the the Time to Next Mark (Number Box) will give you an ETA.  That may vary from the routing ETA through the vagaries of BSP, set, etc.  In fact it would only be the same if you travelled at exactly your routing SOG throughout the journey.  Alternatively, do a re-route from your current position.
And I may have the wrong handle on this.

In simple hardware terms, I can vouch for running Expedition over a NUC, my home desktop is a NUC Extreme Ghost.  Waterproofness would be an utterly different issue, I dunno about taking one to sea.

Matt, for deliveries I do 2 things:
1.  Set polar at (say) 50%
2.  Set Motor when BSP is below x knots, in a TP say about 6 kts BSP.
That gets an OK ETA pretty much

As Campbell is in the middle of the Atlantic right now, I wouldn't expect a quick reply.
