Hello, everyone, 
As some of you know, I've already put an O. R. in a boat. But since the boat is not mine (SAR-boat) I can't always go where I want to go.
I rent different boats every year and spend my holidays on them. But since I don't want to do without the familiar system, an alternative had to be found. 
I would like to introduce you to my mobile plotters today.

I was looking for a box that fits everything and is waterproof. (In case I have an open boat)



This is the box from the inside. The blue is a thin layer of foam to prevent rattle. Underneath is a thin aluminium plate to create a flat surface.



Anker Powerbank. The power bank is sufficient for more than 24 hours of operation. I think if I turn off the screen even longer.



cabel for I2C: to test sensors
GPS-Dongle: U-blox7 without housing
IMU: InvenSense MPU-9150 with BMP180




The system is actually operated with a pad or similar. But if there should be problems with the connection, I have a fallback level.




The connection is sma. So I can connect different antennas depending on the environment and conditions. 

Greetings from Dortmund/Germany

Hi Jürgen wow wonderful you are locate in Dortmund? We are in Bochum. My Grunde is locate close Venlo and is free to use no charter or rental. The boat is no more a sailing boat but there are thoughts to make it. I think we should meet for a coffee

Hows your reception with that GPS dongle.   I have what looks to be the same unit (once I remove the cover) but it doesn't have near the reception that my older USB Ublox 6 puck.   I'm wondering if it's a design flaw or if I got a bad unit.

The reception is good outdoors. He could be better inside buildings.
