Hi...long time no post.....The rough weather has got in the way.....but we dont talk about that anymore...

Im a little confused with this. Why not just get a micro computer (with ssd ) and go from there ? It covers all bases. Is cheap. reliable. and very easy to use.  and can cope with all the very useful extra data that is worth finding.........They are also screen  fast.... It is important to say at this point that you dont need new !!! I am assuming the project device is not going to be expected to do HD Netflix....so is what I  am humbly suggesting.

  Me and several friends have been using this setup and variations  as backup chart plotters for years.  In fact , overlaying sat over navioncs and using it as the preferred "running" system in lower quality (no quality) chart areas. Whatever screen size floats your boat and BT mouse control on the nav table (or anywhere else that works in bumpy weather) . NMEAs or Raymarine or BG/Simrad etcs no probs. 

Dont get me wrong, I love a project. (anyone got a solar pv , solar hot water , external heat source, hydronics, multi area , low voltage control package ?  : )   )
