My “new” boat came with a Lowrance HDS-5 chartplotter/gps. Reading this discussion, I was hoping that I could do some plotting of routes ahead of time and then upload info to the HDS5 when I get to the boat. However, I find no information about any connection/upload of information in the manual. Does anyone know if it is somehow possible to do? Thanks- Dave
I tried the A75 wifi version at the
boat show - I had downloaded the RayControl app on my tablet ahead
of time. I walked up, reset the wi-fi, and was connected to it
before the rep could get over to see what I was doing. Works a
treat, easy to set up, and on my shopping list. Fred - do you
ship to Canada??? If so I'm looking for some Ray goods...

Steve — you might consider one of the new Raymarine “a” series
displays; cheaper than the e7, and they play well together on the
Seatalk HS/Raynet network. Even the smallest a65 has the network
connection, and can share all the data and control the system.
Advantages over the iPad solution are permanently-connected power
and much better waterproof-ability than the iPad.
Let me know if you’d like pricing.

Steve,
My E7 is at the helm. The problem is that you can
only see it when you are behind the wheel. I have not
tried the Ray app on the IPad, but for the Bermuda race
I intend to use a RamMount and a waterproof case so I
can mirror the E7 and swivel the IPad from side to side.
I installed a power outlet in the NavPod to keep the
Ipad charged. I also have both the Garmin and Navionics
apps on the IPad as a backup.
The new OS for the E7 should be out by spring.
