Does anyone have any experience of using a wireless radar directly onto a tablet, without going through a plotter or MFD?
Furuno have a product that does this 1st Watch Wireless Radar DRS4W | Marine Radar | Products | FURUNO
This thread on Cruisers Forum Review Furuno DRS4W Radar 4 iPad - Cruisers & Sailing Forums has some interesting comments on the Furuno but it also says that the BandG and Raymarine equivalents will also run directly onto Open CPN
I'm trying to avoid spending a lot of money on an MFD that I maybe do not need. Having now sailed thousands of miles using a tablet as my main electronic navigational aid, with wireless AIS, I see no point in having an MFD. I would also be quite happy to sail with two tablet screens visible, one radar the other plotter.
Thanks
