Hello everyone, we have a
steel sailboat and are interested in having a tablet with
navionics app to use as a back up
chartplotter.
We already have a
Raymarine chartplotter, and
Furuno, but since we are hoping to do some serious cruising are interested in getting a tablet for the convenience of carrying it onshore for
wifi, and might as well put the
navionics app on it. My question is, does anyone know of a
GPS receiver (like the puck) which is waterproof, and can be installed permanently outside with a usb
plug to hook it directly to an android tablet.
I assume the
GPS + Glonass (inside the tablet I want) will
work fine when I am outside, but since we have a
steel boat it probably won't get a fix inside. Basically, if I use it inside it will sit on the nav station, so a USB-corded receiver would be nice...sit it down and
plug it in.
Am I on the right track here, and can anyone provide me with a product suggestion...I have looked online but didn't find a outside GPS receiver compatible with android.
Thanks in advance.
