Thanks, Stroppy.  Those are a couple of things I hadn’t thought about.  If I end up having to use the tablet for logs, it largely defeats the purpose of having a computer below (at least for me).

It seems that the recommended setup is to have a laptop down below and a tablet on the deck, using Remote Desktop to connect to the laptop down below.

I’ve been using a tablet running Window 10 (now 11) as the sole computer, with Expedition running on it directly.  This setup has generally worked well for me as I’m usually sailing shorthanded.  I do see some advantages of having a hardwired computer down below, particularly with regards to capturing log data.  However, I also like having Expedition running natively on the deck tablet.

Is there any reason not to have two installations of Expedition running at once, e.g., one down below capturing log data and the other being the deck tablet?  My understanding is the Expedition license should cover two computers.  I know that may not apply to my chart licenses, but that doesn’t matter to me as the one computer would just be for capturing the log data. If I want to go this route are the any other considerations I should have in mind?

Thanks
Chris
