What tablet do you use on the boat for navigation?

This looks to be it, thanks.

Now the dumb "I have not used a modern chart plotter, and really any chart plotter for that matter, in about 10 years"...I am pulling down a firmware update, I assume to my laptop. How do I then upload this to the Chart Plotter? BTW, I see they are using Open Source, interesting.

The link to instructions seems to be dead. It's been a few years and this is from memory so hopefully someone can confirm this....
1. Save updated version 19 to a micro sd card in the root directory.
2. Install micro sd card into MFD with power off.
3. Then power on.

Here’s one that I can’t get to autoroute. Boat depth is set to 3’.

It will get to waypoint 11 and stop.

that looks like it is routing on land and not water.

There’s a ditch aka ICWW hiding under those waypoints.

Also, is there a way to name a route?

I can try to walk you through how I do it on an I Pad.
I will send photos.
Hit route at bottom of screen

Hit my route archives at bottom of screen

 

[mrsrobinson]

Success! I used automatic route but set multiple points. I had to wait a couple seconds each time for it to redraw, there's a blue bar that scrolls left to right at the top as it redraws

touch the route that you want to edit and it will come up with your route like this screen.

there is a little blue arrow on the left edge of the screen dead center.
Drag it to the right.

now there is a little blue line next to route1. Hit the back arrow and erase the name and type the new name in and hit enter.

go back into route archives and the new route name is there now.
Instead of route 1 it is now GH to Chicago.

Ha, I had figured that out and posted almost the exact same thing in the other thread. I wish they would leave these apps alone.

Thank you for the tutorial!

Raymarine replied to my contact request with a step by step screenshots, literally the guy did by hand circling where to go along the way, on how to download the manual. Now that is great customer service!
