Plan on your tablet and sync to your plotter!

- Many Navionics ' Boating' app users have trouble synching to their chart plotter - here's how to make it work. B and G Zeus plotter used, but other brands have the same issue and the same fix, though menu structures may vary.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been trying to download my Navionics Routes from my IPad to my Simrad GO12 XSE for a week now with no success until I saw this tutorial. Finally the files transferred properly. Thanks again. Best Regards from Bob in Canada.
@@RobertMoreau-vn2lz It made me so happy to read that! Glad it helped!
Good video describing a truly horrifying user interface. :) These days I´d expect that pushing the button to sync Routes and Waypoints on the tablet software would be enough to after the sync find the routes and waypoints in the plotter meny. The way it is now is ancient method of first doing a file export to the plotters file system, then importing the file to the chart software. Oh well... :D
It is really outdated isn’t it!
My compliments on your videos. Always focused and clearly communicated, this being a perfect example. Not an easy topic to cover in under five minutes, well done. Regarding the open-source question, OpenCPN seems to be gathering steam in the community. Could be a good topic, or series of topics really. Thanks for the vids!
thank you!
More tutorials on using open-source navigation software would be welcome.
Any in particular you would like to see?
The best would be from the beginning: New Android tablet, downloading Open CPN, installing, options, etc, etc.
My lord... thank you for the video, but common MFG's let do a lil bit of coding to make this easier.
Very helpful thanks a lot 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Just found your channel - excellent cheats! I have B&G Vulcan plotter and wanted to transfer from Navionics on ipad to the plotter and have stumbled on a slightly different way to yours, may be helpful? Use the Navionics app to plot the route, export as an GPX file using (I’m on apple devices) up arrow (share) to the B&G app (don’t have the app on mirror etc), in the B&G app accept the import (yes), then synchronize the B&G app with your plotter. Route appeared in routes tab on plotter. Easier - Hmmm not sure? Views!
Which B&G app is that please? I also use apple devices. If you are using Navionics on the ipad, why not just directly synch with the MFD though?
Great videos. Can you please do a video on using the the autopilot in NAV mode to follow a route. Weird things happen when I try to use NAV mode vs HEADING or WIND mode. If I am following a route using HEADING mode and switch to NAV, the boat goes in unpredictable random directions. Maybe it’s trying to go back to the first waypoint. But it knows the route and was showing me the data for the next waypoint before I switch. Am I doing something wrong?
I will indeed - I never use it in Nav mode or Nav Wind either - I prefer to just use wind hold. Are you a power-boater? If so I will make sure to cover it under power rather than under sail to get the same results.
