Hi Guy's looking at adding a second screen on the back deck 0f my 2359.I have at present a Garmin 7408 on the helm and I found a Garmin 7407 that I could mount on the back deck and link/ pair the 2 to have both view the same chart and transducer.I was told that could also be done with a tablet as well, can anyone explain how that works, you can get a much bigger screen with a tablet for the same dollar compared to the chart plotter/sounder.Pros Cons any help would be great.Thanks In advancetried a forum search but it threw an error.

Three things that are less than ideal with using an iPad as a second station;1. Daylight/Sunlight visibility of the iPad screen is not as good as a dedicated MFD. The screen just washes out in direct sunlight2. At salmon trolling speeds, the heading of the vessel on the iPad has either the boat icon or the chart itself changing orientation all the time. With the MFD if you have a autopilot and associated heading sensor (compass type sensor) you won't get that problem on your MFD because the MFD uses heading from the heading sensor, not a GPS calculation.

Perhaps the GLO provides quicker GPS position updates thereby eliminating this problem. This problem made is unusable for me as a second station in the past.3. Not all tablets are waterproof. Easy to lose one in wet conditions.
