Wow, last time I looked the magic box was over $500, IIRC. This is way more affordable and certainly will make life easier for you, it wasn't clear that you already had that. $160 MSRP, wow...Raymarine gets rational about something. Who'd a thunk.<G>
Yes, if your
laptop has bluetooth built in, it can use a bt keyboard and mouse, and that will allow you to get rid of two USB
cables. Of course a bt mouse will still need
POWER, so either you get one that can recharge on a USB cable, or one that uses AAA
batteries, or pick some other choice. For 425 or less you should be able to get a bt mouse from a name brand, that uses a usb cable to recharge itself. Probably the simplest way on a
boat, and if the
batteries go dead just use it on a USB hub.
Must be someone making solar-powered mice by now, right? <VBG>
