But you can 'mirror' to an iPad mounted at the helm
In Response To: Use of CP vs. PC ()
.... most iPads can be 'mirrored' to a PC (Mac). Still use and control your PC (Mac) from the Helm via an iPad. The connect is WiFi.
In the Bahamas, you really need Explorer Charts loaded into 'something' if you want any accuracy. The newer Garmin CPs come preloaded with the Explorer Charts.
