Thanks Fred- That extra $400 takes it from a not too expensive experiment to one I have to think about whether it is justified by the budget. Too bad. I can put the iPad at the helm station for navigation for very little cost, so I guess I will start with that. It seems like it should not be too long before the entire boat is wirelessly integrated with a standard router. Dave
