Thanks gentlemen! my P70 is mounted in a pod, on an arm, and can be turned. I don't much like the idea of twisting it 'round but I can.
Fred, great info, thanks. I don't really want to implement an nmea0183 wireless remote, so for me its a cost benefit question of MFD vs p70. (or nothing) Stupidly I bought an actisense USB n2k gateway, when maybe I should have considered a more expensive wireless gateway, including, possibly, the raymarine mfd. Truth is, the idea of locking into an instantly obsolete proprietary mfd bugs me when tablets are cheap, versatile, and adaptable, and n2k exists as a supposed standard.) Am I correct in assuming that raycontrol will only work with a raymarine MFD, and not with a generic N2k wireless gateway? Conversely, could the Raymarine MFD's wireless capability feed n2k sentences to another chartplotter app? (or have they locked that down as well) This would allow not only raycontrol on the ipad, but a redundant tablet-based chartplotter. in addition to my wind, weather, and AIS apps, all on one device. I could then use a bigger portable and more versatile tablet(s), with a more compact mfd, located anywhere. (FYI I have a garmin GLO Bluetooth GPS antenna, plus a garmin n2k antenna on the network, plus the onboard ipad GPS antenna... lotsa redundancy.)

The ONLY ways to have proper external control of a Raymarine plotter are either through a Raymarine plotter (or an iOS device on that plotter?s WiFi), or through a wireless remote like the S100. There are no other provisions to control from third-party devices. > 4. The S100 wireless controller would be an option; but it uses the older SeaTalk1, so you?ll need to purchase and install a SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkNG converter kit, along with the S100. Cost-wise, by the time you do that, it?s about a wash with buying another p70; but you get the advantage of mobility with your controller (as long as the batteries are fresh?). > > ?
