A 10&#8243;\/250mm weather resistant monitor was close to $4000. So we decided to wait until technology came up with a better answer. We didn&#8217;t expect to wait six years, but now that we are equipped with an Ipad 2 we can say the wait has been worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"Wind Horse Ipad-1007.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Wind-Horse-Ipad-1007.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Wind Horse Ipad-1007.jpg\" width=\"648\" height=\"535\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We use the Ipad as a moving chart display.

Equally important, you can read it with polarized sunglasses as long as the Ipad is oriented horizontally. This photo, and the one below, were taken using a polarizing lens on the camera to emulate what we are seeing with sunglasses.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"Wind Horse Ipad-1012.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Wind-Horse-Ipad-1012.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Wind Horse Ipad-1012.jpg\" width=\"648\" height=\"479\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We are also using the Ipad as a second moving chart display at the inside nav station\u00a0with both INAVX and Navionics programs. Neither would be our choice for a stand alone system, but in the fashion they are employed, they are fine.<\/p>\n<p>As time goes on we are going to look into repeating some of the NMEA data with a wifi signal on the \u00a0Ipad. That would be helpful, indeed.<\/p>\n<p>Suggestions by SetSailors for software options would be appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we were building Wind Horse we could not find \u00a0an acceptable solution to having navigation data on the flying <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/cruising-with-an-ipad-for-navigation\/\">&#8230;Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dashew-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16293"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16293"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16293\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
