Re: Laptop as Fishfinder/GPS???
I like this idea. I actually ran across this post because I had a brainstorm to build a transducer that had bluetooth capability and then having a mounted ipad that had an app with gps navigation/fish finder/depth finder all in one. The possibilities are pretty endless and I'm surprised none of the big manufacturers have picked up on this yet. I'm a programmer and could tackle the ipad app pretty easily but as for the sonar end of things this is a whole different creature.
