@rek ohhh so it's actually kinda live!
I thought you'd just export the .gpx path from the plotter and merge it with the map renderer!

@nomand Yea, a live path made sense back then (to reassure friends/family).

I could record our paths with our charplotter and/or Navionics from now on, stupidly enough this had not occurred to me (we've only had a chartplotter since 2022, and on long passages recording the path with Navionics would kill the phone's battery so we didn't bother).

@rek Yes! I also found that if you have battery savings mode on, when you turn the screen off, GPS turns off too, and then you have a path with gaps and it messes with your average speed readings.

My plan is to install a wireless charger in the cockpit, because wires are useless once anything splashes anywhere ^^

@nomand Yea we've given up on ouside outlets, our cockpit is too exposed for that ^^.
Hope the wireless charger will fair better.
