Raymarine WiFish

 Has anyone used Raymarine wifish on their phone or tablet? If so, are you able to split the views so that the dragonfly unit shows the chartplotter and the phone/tablet shows the sounder views?

 

Planning to buy a Raymarine Dragonfly 5 Pro for my new 18ft runabout. :)

looked into this with other sounders (but not the dragonfly) and pretty sure what you see on the unit's screen is what you see on the slave unit.

but FWIW hope I am wrong ! :)

EDIT

 

Pretty sure the Wifish doesnt have a chartplotter so that won't work, and does it even have screen or can you only use it on your phone ?

Dragonfly 5 pro is the one that has the screen and can use wifish. Not the wifish

 I'm looking at getting the 5 pro which has inbuilt WiFish. The WiFish unit itself is just a processor with transducer with no screen so your phone or tablet becomes the primary display.

 

I have a 10" android tablet which gets rarely used so i'll be using it to display sonar data while the 5 pro will be used to display gps.
