We have Raymarine C90 wide screen at Nav Station. This one holds the Navionics chip. At the helm is a duplicate C90. This one acts as a 'slave' to the Nav Station one but you can decide at any time to make one or the other the 'master'.
This allows either unit to plot, change priorities such as GPS or radar or both, set vectors, waypoints. The outdoor unit is easy to read in daylight and has full functionality allowing the helm to look up whatever information they need without going below and without having to use a hard to read, little telephone or a possibly not waterproof alternative.
I think it is more costly this way but in use it is phenomenally easy and useful.
I don't like the Navionics software quite as much as the C-Map that we had before but, having absolutely no connection to Raymarine I can say that I would have it again if a new boat came along, and in the same format.

Ok, I didn't know that could be done. So... ...how do you do that exactly?

You'd need to run a server on the PC and a client on the mobile device: Remote Desktop, VNC etc.
