Any chance we'll see this? I'm refitting to Simrad now, and having radar on my macbook in the cabin would be sweet!

I have seen chart plotters on swing away arms so they can viewed from the cockpit and swung into the cabin when not needed. I imagine this could be done with the iPad. Does anyone have a suggestion as to finding an arm which does not cost an arm and a leg?
Thanks

Can I display both the instruments, ie heading and speed from the iphone internal GPS and show AIS targets at the same time. Also how do I display the analog instruments display.

The program iDrifter serves the continuous monitoring of the position (anchorfix) for anchoring yachts. The program displays graphically the current drift of the yacht relating to the anchor – selectable either as a radar graph or as a map graph in Google Maps.

For this purpose, the current position in relation to the anchor will be identified once per second and digitized as a dot on the display. As soon as a specific distance –adjustable by the skipper- to the anchor fix will be exceeded, an acoustic alarm will resound.

I just downloaded inav X on iphone and I've been slaving the instruments from MacEnc operating in simulated mode. It will work for a few minutes after I manually enter the computers IP address in MacEnc and in inavx. But then the iphone loses the connection and the alarm goes off.

I return to the system preferences, and see that the IP address has changed. Re-enter the address and it works again... Is this because I'm plugged into the internet?

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks.

I just got an ipad 3G, and I have purchased the Navionics Marine US Central HD ipad app for $19.99. I am quite impressed by the basic features of the app and the charts themselves (which I read was the Navi. gold). As a GPSNavX user, I am think about getting iNavX ($49.99).

I am a bit confused about the chart options for iNavX. In reading posts, it sounds like one needs to purchase Navionics charts for $49.99 in addition to purchasing iNavX. Are these Navionics charts different from the Navionics app chart? I would hate to spend the $99.98 to find that charts are really no better that the $19.99 app.

Marine US universal app displays all NOAA nautical charts online from GeoGarage servers with the ability to use them offline with previously browsed tiles cache.
