Built a marine navigation system as a fall-back chart plotter in the event the onboard system goes down while chartering.
After rolling my own OpenCPN on raspberian install I decide to go with Sailoog after a card corruption. The project has come a long way, Ive mounted in a Pelican case with IP67 USB ports and a touch screen. Have a USB gps antenna and an rtl-sdr dongle for AIS tracking. The whole thing is hooked up to a 20kmha battery that sits behind the screen. Works great for a whole weekend. The screen is only on when I need to look at it, otherwise it just runs and keeps my tracks for my log.
