A few of us, me included, use OpenPlotter as a data multiplexer, AIS receiver, electronic compass, GPS, etc. with very, very flexible features for output to other devices. In my case, I have an Android tablet running OpenCPN (with charts stored on the device) which gets all real-time data from OpenPlotter via WiFi.
It's really fairly easy, you just make sure that whatever other instance of OpenCPN you are using is listening on the correct TCP port, and any data that is being generated by OpenPlotter can be received as NMEA strings in OpenCPN via wifi.
that's exactly how I want to use it now, I just wish the raspi had enough juice to actually serve as a plotter without bogging down and crashing
