Lyndon,
Can you share the specific software you purchased?
I looked on Fugawi's website and the choices are dauting.

Re: Fuwagawi
Lads,
First on the battery life for Fraser - with my iPad on 100% charge and blutooth connected to my Dual GPS, I could get 4 solid hours before I had the battery indicator showing red (below 10%). Keep in mind, that the screen is always on while using the Nobletec software, and that the tablet is in a constant state of communication via Bluetoth with the Dual GPS puck. One I would see this warning come up on my ipad, I would plug the ipad in. The Dual GPS puck is good for about 8 hours of constant use. My 506 has a large inverter system, so my bridge has constant 120v power.
Now, the new Android table has much more real estate than the Ipad, so naturally the on board battery is much bigger. In a resting state (always on, normal usage, but screen off) - I have got 8 days on a 100% charge. From other reviews of people using this tablet for Navigation - it is not uncommon to get 10 hours of constant use. The beauty part is that it has its on onboard GPS chipset - so does not require to be looking for cell towers, or a bluetooth connection to a remote GPS. This probably adds (or saves) 2 hours of battery use.
Second, to answer Dan's question regarding the Fugawi software, here is what you need.
"PATHAWAY PRO - outdoor GPS NAV" - from Google Play.
Once you have that you can purchase the Andoid charts from Fugawi for the area that you boat in.
