Is anyone familiar with how to use a MacBook with Garmin chartplotters?
I'm installing a Garmin electronics package on my boat, with 8617 chartplotters. I'd like to be able to plot routes from home on my MacBook, and then upload/transfer them to the chartplotter on the boat.
ActiveCaptain runs on an iPad or iPhone, but I prefer the larger screen and am more comfortable using a MacBook or iMac desktop.
Is anyone else doing this? There's a BlueStacks Android emulator for Mac; is that the best way? Or are there better ways of integrating a Mac OS with Garmin electronics?
Thank you!
