| When I bought my boat it had an old Dell Laptop bolted down on one side of the chart table with GPS feed.
I installed a 19” flat screen that fits flush with the inside back window of the Bridge house, facing aft, so that it is easily viewed from the cockpit. Works great except of course you need to go inside to use the mouse, to zoom in/out. (Wish there was some kind of remote mouse that would work from the cockpit and handle the wet!)
I am now replacing that Dell with a newer one (2002), that used to be my business Laptop and I will make that my dedicated boat Laptop, free from Internet use and possible and viruses.
The boat came with an old version of C-Map and Captain’s Mate which I haven’t updated as I don’t have the original documentation. It also had ARCS with documentation and dongle but that is probably too expensive to buy charts for.
Anybody with recommendations for a cost effective Chart program for SE Asia? Thanks! |
