You would think with three computer screens we’d have enough “real estate” for the bridge. But that is never the case, so when Carol Parker mentioned an Ipad App called Air Display, which turns the Ipad into a second monitor for your PC or Mac, we decided to give it a try.<\/p>\n

It is easily installed, we did this ourselves (!), and once operating is the same as an extra wired monitor, except it is wireless and portable. Your mouse pointer, for example, works on the Ipad just like a normal screen.<\/p>\n

In this photo we are running the Victron inverter software control on the Ipad (this reports on various AC and DC functions).<\/p>\n
Sidenote: the nav computer on which all of this is happening is a Mac Mini, running PC programs using Parallels. Both the nav program, Coastal Explorer, and Victron’s software are PC programs. The Ipad does not care whether it is showing PC or Mac software, \u00a0or both at the same time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
