 Raspberry Pi Navigation System



I have been busy setting setting up a navigation system that runs on a raspberryPi computer, a 10 inch screen and a USB GPSmouse -  that combines charts,  grib files as an overlay and ais data wirelessly sent from my Onwa ks200+ - it does weather routing as well - using wind instruments I could even get their data via SignalK. I am busy working out Polars as well, at the moment I am using polars from a Muscadet as I have not yet created a custom polar file.


here are the screenshots from the system











Please visit the blog again to see how the system will be installed on Cagarro and also please visit the youtube channel and register because I will be making videos showing it in use and if there is enough interest  maybe some videos with  hardware options, chart and software installs as well
