So where are those who say differently getting their experiences with this? And what exactly are those experiences that differ so much from ours?Īnd finally, how does doing so on a tablet differ from doing so on a computer running OCPN, Maxsea, Nobeltec, or the like? Maybe that question should be "why" instead of "how"?Ĭlick to expand.Before I retired, in addition to hardware issues in the real world, I had to deal with some serious software bugs when separately-developed software modules were integrated, so I speak from MY experience when raising doubts about an agglomeration of software modules that has not been put through the ringer under real-world conditions. There is no mulit-vendor integration necessary - at least no more than already exists on the boat from personal choices in selecting commercial gear. There is no dog's breakfast of mish-mashed stuff strung together using high-priest sanskrit rituals or anything. Otherwise, the entire electronics suite and network is the exact same one the fixed instruments and chartplotter is connected to. It is the same way we connect our computers to our instruments. Here is how our tablets/phones are networked to our instruments on our boat: I don't understand where it is coming from. This point has come up often here - chef2sail has made it a couple of times, and probably others. Having the glass exposed like with the Nuud case, allows better heat transfer and still protects the iPad itself just as well. Though I've never "benchtested" it (and don't really want or care to since I've already extensively field-tested it) a fully enclosed case like the LifeEdge I've shown in my videos can trap much more heat due to the screen cover. PS - the above is another reason I recommend the LifeProof Nuud case. So maybe others can speak to potentially bugginess that matches your issue. If the iPad itself is well-managed and properly protected from the elements, it's incredibly reliable and durable. I'm wondering if BlueChart is/was just buggy when you were using it (or maybe you had too many apps open, too little space, whatever). in 1,000 miles of continuous use in all kinds of conditions from 100 degree heat to offshore storms with drenching rain to heavy seas - you name it (nor did any of our i-device backups onboard). Our iPad2 with iNavX that we kept at the helm 24/7 while underway NEVER hung-up, froze, needed re-booting, etc.

But it does have full ARPA commercial performance specs.įallard - I'm curious, which model of iPad do you have? And do you think the problem is related to BlueChart - or the hardware?Īs I've said before, my experience is not at all the same as yours. If you want to get hung up on whether a certain 32' sailboat with an ARPA unit has a display screen size appropriate for regulations of a 500 ton ship, feel free. If you care to split words and shade definitions, you are guilty of the exact thing you accused me of doing. In the same manner, heading, GPS, and other sensors that meet commercial requirements probably have display requirements for their use - but that doesn't make them not commercial sensors. The ARPA functionality itself - as was being discussed in this thread - is there. It is not Furuno's responsibility to make sure every commercial ship meets their specific requirements. Furuno's implementation meets ARPA requirements.
Some of us need 50 minutes for a second chance at clarity.īesides, I'm on your ignore list, so not sure how you saw that post.ĪRPA is performed in the radome/array. Not all of us have the exquisite written communication abilities you do. I didn't mean to say that radars without ARPA can do ARPA - and I made that very clear within 50 minutes. Those that don't implement ARPA can't meet commercial ARPA requirements, of course, but those that do have ARPA, do meet them. I happily acknowledge that not all Furuno radars have ARPA. Unless you read it during those 50 minutes between, and then decided to post about it 24 hours later (your own posts said this wasn't the case), you are being disingenuous with your snark.
