Poor Man's Chartplotter install

[Vezo, Part II]

Are the kids working for the summer? You need to ask for some gas money for the boat.

Part II

[SailorChlud]

Ha, Vezo.

Well, the oldest is paying off $50,000 in student loans and is married, the middle guy just graduated with $60,000 of loans but is continuing grad school for one more year while he works as a computer programmer/systems engineer, and the youngest is in civil engineering school at Stevens with 4 more years to go. Between them they are doing fine, and paying their loans, but until that all goes away, there are no $2500 chartplotters in my future. $100 tablet and $20 Navionics app will have to do me. Luckily I can still afford to fill up my 35 gallon tank!

Update on the 3M 4200 adhesive on the velcro strips method: It failed at adhering to the rubber of the tablet case. Only got the two seasons out of it before the velcro came loose from the tablet case..

Going to have to find a tablet attachment bracket that fits the Samsung. But the concept has been sound and works quite well. The Navionics app records speed, distance, track covered and is quite easy to use.
