I have been searching for a simple system that installs wirelessly. I have ordered the Standard Horizon GX6500 VHF/DSC/GPS/AIS transponder & receiver (aka transceiver) and was mulling over the possibilities.
Nobeltec has a solution that integrates and overlays the Furuno DSR4W onto their charts. According to Panbo http://www.panbo.com/archives/2014/12/nobeltec_timezero_app_2015_furuno_drs4w_wifi_radar_overlay_more.htmlit will overlay AIS Data. The setup requires a WiFi bridge but makes the TimeZero App and the radar and an iPad connect wirelessly and overlay one another.
Which means in theory one can get this electronics package:
1) iPad Pro (10.5" bezelless HD screen arriving next month) for ~$600
2) Furuno DSR4W = $995
3) WiFi bridge = ~$350
4) Standard Horizon GX6500 (w/AIS true transceiver/GPS/VHF/DSC = $799
5) Nobeltec TimeZero and needed apps = ~$125 How it works - Sailing App features & FAQ | Nobeltec TimeZero App
TOTAL: $2,869
Needed but NOT wireless and would have to connect to the WiFi bridge (Panbo says these 'might' also ingrate in the future via the Wifi bridge):
1) Depth sounder (maybe sonar) = $?
2 Autopilot = $?
Any thoughts on this setup?
