Hi, I am also looking at tablets and interested in what others are currently using & liking. I am considering a Samsung Active Pro, anyone tried it? 
For reference I do a variety of different things on boats like nav but also running around on coach boats for dinghies and working with RC, etc. So running Exp is one thing I'd like it to do, but it won't live on the deck of a boat. 

- What is needed to run Exp on an Android tablet? A certain app, or will it run natively? I have only ever run Exp on a Windows PC. 
Thanks in advance!

Splashtop or Remote Desktop (RD) Android app works well.
For RD you need a "professional" Windows version.
If if you have a Windows Home Edition you could use "RDP Wrap tool".
You can find instructions on RDP wrap on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb6Jj6KFXNo

 

I used to use the "Calculation" function in the instrument menu. 
In the NMEA 0183 AIS (wich I use) settings menu there used to be a "calculations" option in older versions.
Now it seems that only a "calibrations" option is available.

Would be great if the "calculations" option could be restored.
Thanks
 

Thanks, That is useful.
Although not the solution for boats that don't have Garmin displays on board.
I think receiving certain Expedition data on a (Garmin) watch can be so useful, but there seems no easy way to establish this, so it seems

With regards to mitchell, I had the same issue. It seems like the visit my harbour charts activation on the computer, modifies the encoding of the xml files and that creates the issue with saving/expedition deleting Race Notes.
At least that is what I found, I haven't had the issue when not activating/loading the VMH charts.

Yes, that is it. I found.
When VMH charts are activated it it not possible to save or load Race Notes.

Thanks,

Mitch
