Mercury Marine Introducing VesselView Mobile App
 

Coming in May, http://speedonthewater.com/in-the-ne...iew-mobile-app

Important addition to story that I had to fact-check (I couldn't reach anyone late Friday afternoon when the release came out) before I could include it:

"While the app will be a free download, owners of SmartCraft-equipped engines will need to purchase the VesselView Mobile Module to use it. The module will be available in May through Mercury Marine dealers. Cost is $275."

It's now in the text, but I also thought I'd just post it here for those who don't want to reread the news piece.

Will you be able to mount a tablet or iPad on the dash and use it like a vessel view with the app?

Depending on the consistency of the Bluetooth connection, my guess would be yes but that's a better question for your Mercury dealer.

The Bluetooth module is probably $1000..lol

it said $275.00

Or if you have a newer Garmin chart plotter you can see almost all the same data for free on the Garmin helm app for free over a much more reliable wireless connection.

Any updates on this? Also... if you have twins does it support both engines? Would I need 2 modules or just 1? I can't find this to purchase anywhere even though it says it was supposed to come out a couple months back. I also can't find the app in either the apple app store or the google play store.

Those green 400s absolutely rock!!

Do you need a NMEA gateway to make that work? My next project is going to have Smartcraft gauges, and a Garmin 741. I was wondering what the best way to tie the Garmin in with Smartcraft?
