This is interesting, Dan, I have just been reading about these Raspberry Pi units and they look like fun to play with.
What exactly do you use it for on your boat? I think this uses Linux, If I remember correctly. Can you put charts on them?

I've read that you CAN get navionics to read the wifi signal, but you need to find out what specific NMEA strings Navionics needs. I don't think it uses the standard ones for proprietary reasons (or something like that) Here's the video: https://youtu.be/U3ucE3Rx7Tw Dan Breakaweigh C&C44 Halifax, NS On Mon, Jan 14, 2019 at 9:35 PM Joe Della Barba via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: I use iNavX on my old iPad. I like Navionics better, but iNavX will take GPS and AIS info via wifi link from my network and Navionics will not. This iPad is not cell-equipped and has no GPS of its own.

Joel is correct that you need not activate the cell plan.

The GPS antenna is shared with the cell antenna in the iPad.

I read that to use the Navionics app on the water to purchase an ipad that has cellular capability. So I'm looking at Best buy and see ipads with 4G AT&T, Verizon, etc... So my Question is; Does it matter what provider is noted because I'm only using the cellular for the Navionics app? Thanks for any help.
