How do you connect the data to the iPad?

Wireless via wifi. The iPad is running the Splashtop app and the MacMini runs the Splashtop streamer for MacOS, Parallels with a Windows 7 VM and finally the MaxSea software. Shame that MaxSea does not have a native Mac version.

The MacMini has two network links:

- ethernet into the NavNet 3D network switch with radar antenna and MFD12 display (both are ethernet too).
- wifi into my router for Internet etc.

Hi Alex. It'snot that difficult: with an iPad and the Splashtop app, you can use the iPad to control other PC's, Laptops etc. So, I run a navigation program at the navstation and can use it from anywhere.

You do need a wifi router on the boat, much like at a house.

cheers,
Nick.

Thank for the tip. I was using "Team viewer" for this purpose but it was driving me crazy with its random password request. Splasktop2 is much more user friendly and just what I needed.

Sorry, could you, please give me an information about Maxsea for ipad?
On the map, is it possible to see which kind of bottom? I mean if it is sand, rock etc.?
Thank you

The iOS versions of both MaxSea TZ and NobelTec TZ are available. I have been wondering why nobody is using it yet....
