Thanks again for your help!

Superb. Good luck developing and launching!


Make sure also the image on the tablet (the chart showing) in the kickstarter page is either your own creation or otherwise licensed, or copylefted. I have seen a product developer pestered by a software company when he used an image of a tablet with a specific, copyrighted, application shown on its screen.


Good luck.

You're right, yes. I must say I like to use Navionics chart, and they were happy to help me when I discussed with them, but I'll use mostly SailfreeGPS images, I have an agreement with them ;-)

Rugged chinese phones?

I was wondering if anyone using a cheapish brand (doogee, blackview, oukitel, ulefone, etc) rugged phone as backup or even main plotter? I am looking for a reliable backup, unfortunately my tablet (samsung Tab A) is having gps signal issues, not waterproof and the screen is way too dim compared to my phone.

I think i could work with the 6"ish screen size, my Lowrance is 5"...
