something to do with a fact that the PC based charts were substantially easier
to hack-unlock than anything else).

For Garmin
For Garmin devices you can use also the MapSource (or BaseCamp). You can create
waypoints, routes and tracks and move them to the plotter using an SD (or
MicroSD card). It is important to make sure that the card is first inserted
into the chart plotter (the device would put its identifier on the

is called Homeport, and cost something like $20. Set up routes on the pc, copy
to an SD card, and put the SD card into the plotter. You can also uploadActive

What electronic device do you want to plot with a head of time? I use my
laptop at the nav station and it sends the next waypoint and course to
steer to the NMEA 0183 multiplexer. There really isn't any uploading, more
of an integration. I also have a card reader/writer for the GPS but it is
too
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.
Graham -- yes, I do. $1025 for the a75 WiFi with Navionics Gold charts. I
should double-check to make sure there's no difference in price for the
Canadian charts .

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.

cheaper than the e7, and they play well together on the Seata

Steve,
I had a similar need with my E-80 and installed a Raymarine A50 at the helm
but had to also install a converter for sea talk to sea talkNG so the units
could talk to each other. You may not have to do this with the E7. See
arpeggio1984.info web site under projects 2013 for further details.
Steve — you might consider one of the new Raymarine “a” series displays;

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

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 pow
