I have a J/120.  Struck by lightning last summer.  Destroyed everything on the NMEA network, including my 4 Garmin GNX120 mast displays and 3 B&G GFDs above the companionway.  Insurance fucked me on the replacement.  But then I realized...I'm a solo sailor.  I don't need all these displays.  The autopilot drives most of the time.  I just need some key pieces of data when I'm on deck or hand steering.  I'm confident I get this information to be displayed in a single tablet rather than 7 friggin' displays.  Sure, it'd be great to have a few B&G Nemesis displays.  But for now, I'm trying science the hell out of this like the Martian.  Ok, maybe not the same level as the Martian.

I'm looking for the best solution to display Expedition data on a tablet that I will have in the companionway and that can swivel in place in the companionway to show me on deck (Mini 6.50 style) or that I can mount at the helm.  I see 3 options, described below.  I'd love anybody's thoughts (especially Nick's) on the best solution.  I like option 3, but don't like the fact that I'll probably need to buy a second license for Expedition.  :  - (

Option 1:  At nav station, I have a Panasonic CF54 toughbook running Expedition.  Laptop is connected to NMEA2000 network via Actisense NGT-1-USB.  Rest of data on network is is NMEA2000.  I could use an Actisense W2K-1 WiFi gateway to send all my NMEA2000 data, including the Expedition data to be read on a tablet (e.g., one like Sailproof running Android) connected to the WiFi gateway and using an app that displays NMEA data.  The downside is that I haven't found any great third-party Android apps that give you the flexibility to display NMEA data in a great way.  And Stripchart is literally the best thing ever.  Would hate to not have that functionality in a roaming display.  

Option 2:  Panasonic CF54 running Exp at nav station.  No NGT-1-USB.  No W2K-1 Wifi gateway.  Instead, use a WiFi router along with a remote desktop app to get Exp display from nav station laptop onto tablet.  Tablet could be Android like Sailproof tablets or something like a Toughbook CF-33 running Windows.  Downside that I see is latency.  Plus-side of the downside is that there's almost built-in dampening of the displayed data

Option 3 (my favorite):  Panasonic CF54 running Eep at nav station.  No NGT-1-USB because no need to offload Expedition data onto NMEA network.  Instead, W2K-1 Wifi gateway plugged into NMEA network, which sends all NMEA2000 data to a Toughbook CF-33 running a second instance of Expedition.  This seems like the best option because you're not dealing with the latency inherent in a remote desktop application.  The only things I see as potential downsides is just that this could be overkill if the goal for the CF-33 is displaying data on deck and the possibility of needing a second license.  This option seems to give the best speed and flexibility on deck.  

Like I said, appreciate any thoughts here.
