Raycontrol App

[prv]

It certainly doesn’t help that they seem to have had a series of different names and abandoned apps. There are substantial differences between the iPhone and iPad versions too (I’ve never used any of the android ones).

I‘m now having doubts about the autopilot control. I thought I’d used that feature, but maybe my memory’s playing tricks. I’ll have to try it next time I’m on the boat.

No mention of the Axiom on their compatibility page, although the Raycontrol app' kind of works:

RayRemote, RayControl, RayView MFD Compatability List

The Garmin Active Captain app' is a little clunky in some respects, but it's light years ahead of the Raymarine app's.

Oh, i can definitely control the autopilot from my phone and my tablet.

Does that mean you can change course, select between heading hold and track following, and/or modify a route or waypoints?

The rider, "User Note, autopilot activation/deactivation is not possible via a mobile device." appears in the blurb for both Raycontrol and Rayremote - though I don't see what the difference between the apps is - they both seem to do the same thing -what am I missing?

I can do everything from the tablet that i can do from the plotter, which includes AP control. I can engage, disengage, steer x degrees port or stb etc. Because i can do it from the plotter (obviously) i can also create or modify waypoints or routes.

I've just taken this picture of my Samsung Galaxy, showing the Garmin app' with the autopilot full screen, can also be split screen, or just engage/standby with the "button" at the bottom left. The app' can also be used stand alone, using the Garmin charts. For the cost of a tablet Mine was £180 for a 10.4" screen, (there are cheaper models) it makes a very cheap 2nd station MFD and cheap backup plotter.

That's exactly what I'm after - thanks - ah!

edit; But on Raymarine!

My pleasure, glad it helped.

My car doesn't make tea either.

Since this old thread has been dredged up, it’s worth pointing out that since it was written the restriction on controlling the autopilot from the app has been removed.

The question remains as to whether since your initial reply tesla have added rfc7168 support

Ah, bad luck then
