I have a fixed plotter at the nav table, I leave that running (openplotter on a raspberry Pi) and when I need a chart at the helm while steering, I use an iPad in a waterproof case, on a detachable ram mount. The iPad is really only used in tight quarters while steering so - like Joel- I only view from the wheel. The iPad stays below, charging, on another ram ball when not in use. Prior to getting the Pi, the iPad was left running below but was moved to the helm when needed. The iPad connects the the network via wifi, the Pi via a USB gateway. The iPad can be viewed from any angle when at the helm. I imagined this was good and useful at first but in reality i’ve never found the need. Dave Sent from my iPhone
