Update electronics

I have 2) Lowrance HDS8’s Gen 2 at the main helm. Thinking to update to HDS9 Live to replace sonar and an iPad to replace plotter. I see many using pads or laptops for their plotter but I’ve been told that anything other than a head unit will not be accurate for navigation. Not that I heard that from a rep…
Any thoughts or recommended options?
 
Don’t use the tablet for your primary nav. With the glass screen you get reflections and can’t see in sunlight.
Great for planning and use as a secondary.
I’d just sell your gen 2’s and get new 9” screens or a 12” and a 9”.
