I used MacENC on my MacBook Pro as my primary navigation system on a recent 500 mile gulf coast delivery and it worked flawlessly. Having the MacBook safely stowed down below was fine for offshore work. Now that the boat is closer to home I would like to bring all the data to my (wife's) non-3g iPad at the helm. Antipole seems to be doing this through an onboard WiFi, presumably using something like an Airport Express wireless router. A few questions:
- Is this the best way to link the iPad to the MacBook, or can it be done through Bluetooth?
- Do I have to run iNavX on the iPad, or can the iPad be used as a remote monitor/controller of the MacBook?
- I haven't tried connecting "Instruments" to MacENC, but I assume MacENC can display depth, wind data, etc. as long as it has the appropriate data?
Thanks in advance!
