![]() I have not been able to find anything online about something similar, but if possible I think it could be pretty slick. ![]() It could project the plotter, or a countdown sequence for racers, or whatever. So I am thinking I could have a normal (dumb) screen behind a piece of plexiglas or something similar to keep it protected. I originally was thinking of a waterproof touch screen here, but was quickly priced out. Another option would be to install a tablet mount there, but that seems less elegant. I figure if done right it will look better, but also be more useful to have a bulkhead mounted screen I can turn on and off. The last monitor would fill a hole (about 8"x 8") that currently houses the radar readout that we don't use (the radar is old and sucks our batteries dry). Think this is possible? Could it be set up using a remote desktop app on the tablet or is it more complicated? The idea would be to be able to control the plotter from either the touch screen & mini keyboard at the nav dest, or from the tablet.

Partly because it would be great to have a dedicated plotter, partly because it seems silly to buy an expensive plotter for a 30 year old 30 fter, and partly because it sounds like a fun project. I have been getting into the idea of a Raspberry Pi chartplotter.
