I would like to get ais as well , can I do that with my tablet? I have an old green screen Raytheon radar and would like something newer but this unit is working ok so that is on the back burner. I also have a Dell laptop that is running an old program that I really like called Chartview. I can download govt. Charts for free. So far I haven't found a program that I like better and with new updated charts I guess it's as good as most of the new things out there now. I like it more than Opencpn probably because I'm so used to it.

It has a full library of NOAA raster charts identical to paper. I have a GNSS puck plugged into computer which gives me foreign satellite systems as well as US GPS. It is remarkable at $19.95. I also have a small Daisy AIS receiver attached $69. On my IPhone I have PlantoNav with cmap charts. Works well. On my Android I have OpenCPN. It can receive WiFi input for AIS and down load grib charts if in internet range. OpenCPN does not run on IPad. At the helm of the boat I have a Garmin 74 series chart plotter. Under $500. It’s 7 inches and readable under all conditions. I have a daisy two channel AIS receiver attached that works beautifully. $89. It’s has its own rail mounted antenna and picks up boats up to 15 miles away. Garmin Vector charts. My mast top vhf antenna doubles as a 2 meter ham antenna. If I had unlimited budget I’d get a multi function display and nmea 2000 network for all devices including radar. I currently have a dedicated Raytheon radar non digital. Never use it.
