Like others have said, we also run a laptop with concurrent paper. Our software is Maxsea through a Shipmodul picking up data from a chartplotter and B&G intruments. We do not intergrate our radar or WH Auto into the system, they remain stand alone.
Laptops are so cheap it is easy to buy an extra off e-bay and stow it aboard. I like that the charts are easy to get and copies often get handed around. wink, wink, nod, nod,,,,,,,
Chartplotters are made for the enviroment so will be more robust but are more expensive and charts are a bit more expensive for them.
All that being said, we'll probably add another chartplotter to the aft cockpit unless I'am able to find a good sunlight viewable monitor that doesn't cost and arm and a leg.
