Hi mkeveney,
I think i've made what you dream of ..
I've found an old NAVIONICS GEONAV 6 CABIN which was unusable ... and too old.
I've taken out the screen and the board and put a 5" HDMI screen, a PI3, a serial NEO 6 GPS, a bluetooth dongle, a RTLSDR dongle all in the box.
In order to keep the keyboard usable, i've developp a board with usb interface recognised as a keyboard. You can program the shortcuts as you want.
Everything works perfectly except the RTLSDR dongle but i'll open a new thread.
And the good thing is that the box is waterproof and, if you need to tune it, simply turn on the BT keyboard with touch pad (few $ on ebay).
If you want more details, just ask me.
