Garmin Bluechart G3 Vs G2

[Orestes Hardy]

SoI took a trip out to the boat today and tried out a basic wireless access point connected to the Garmin Network. I was able to get BlueChart iOS on my iPad talking to my Garmin 5212 very quickly. See the details here: -mcqueen-home/home/garminmarine

Ben,

I appreciate your tenacity and will wait to see how you make out with Garmin before seeking out a passive PoE alternative.

During the winter I use Home Port(sp?) on my laptop to investigate new routes for the upcoming season. BCM on an iPad takes it to the next level as the iPad goes with me much more often than my laptop.

Gentlemen,I am interested in setting up my garmin 4212 MFD with BlueChart Mobile app and garmin adapter kit. I would like to view charts on mfd and sonar on a tablet/Ipad or switch them. Will I be able to operate the Tablet w/chart anywhere on the boat.How difficult is this to do,I am not great at electronics, I would appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks, Ed

Hi Ed, The Garmin WiFi Adapter and BlueChart Mobile combination only let you share GPS, routes, and tracks at the moment. It may get more features in the future but currently your desire to share charts and sonar is not possible.

Looks like Garmin is including a POE adapter that is both AC and DC compatible.

Anyone have any luck or experience connecting this wi-fi with another network?

I lost the manual and I need the password to reconnect. Any help would be appreciated!

I connected my device and did all the steps correctly and it all works great! But I had to disconnect my wifi antennae and reconnect everything but I misplaced the manual with the password and now I am lost!

Please help!
