“SeaTalk already had the ability to move routes and waypoints, so we opened up the code to Navionics to develop the charting engine.” The router is nothing special it’s the same kind you’d use at home, so it needs a dry place to reside in your boat. Raymarine offers full instructions for setting up the Wi-Fi router, presented by Jim McGowan, Raymarine’s know-how-everything-works guy, at “Plotter Sync is a neat setup,” says McGowan.
Make the Wi-Fi connection on your mobile device when you walk on your boat, and the sync happens automatically. Plotter Sync requires a Wi-Fi router on the boat, and that’s it. Information can include waypoints and routes generated by the mobile device or transferred from Navionics’ PC nav-planning software. Moving functionality to the plotter on your boat, Navionics has partnered with Raymarine to develop Plotter Sync, which allows the wireless transfer of information from a mobile device to Raymarine’s E-Series Widescreen and G-Series displays. One of the spiffy features is you can download segments of the set to your phone so they are available for use when you are out of Wi-Fi or cell range. The fee allows access to the Navionics server where the charts are stored, and they display on your device on demand. charts, more for Central America and Europe.
Navionics has a complete set of charts available at the app store for your mobile device, accommodating iPhone, iPad, Android and Nokia models. A new way of handling navigational and fishing information has appeared, and as you might guess, it’s on your phone.
