Mirroring a tablet to the new TZ Touch E mfd

[Steveberty]

Hello, I am planning to update my older Furuno electronics by purchasing the recently available TZ TouchE 13" Chartplotter/Fishfinder MFD and I want to mirror the unit to a Samsung S11 Ultra android tablet that will be located on the deck under the flybridge. However, there seems to be a lot of conflicting information as to whether this is still possible with all the new cybersecurity regulations that recently came out. Is this still feasible or do I need to purchase a second TZ TouchE MFD and connect them together with an Ethernet cable? Also, even if this is still possible, is it really the best way to go? Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance...

There is no mirroring app available to control the Navnet due to changes in cyber security. If you wish for two stations then it would take two compatible Navnet units. That could be two XL, two TZtouchE, or a mix. It would also be possible to setup as shared station by using something like the 16x that has HDMI out and then connecting a monitor and MCU at that second "shared" station from the 16x.

Thank you for the clarification on mirroring and hopefully Furuno will be able to sort out the new cyber security regulations in the near future and have a mirroring app available again. But for now, I intend to purchase two two tzt13e mfd's as soon as they become available and network them together with a ethernet cable.
