Hello everyone,
I have a new helm on the way that can hold a 9" display. Instead of getting a $3k B&G plotter, I'm going to move to one of the opensource charting tools (OpenCPN, etc.). I will start by running the SW from the NMEA 2000 data over Wifi, but eventually will get a Raspberry Pi up and running.
For the near-term, is there a good tablet with waterproof case for running OpenCPN on touch for the helm?
For the longer-term, when I get the Pi running and can use HDMI, what monitors for outdoor mounting in the 9" range (waterproof, anti-glare, etc.).
Thanks for any help!
