Next snag - Turns out Navionics on Ipads does not support AIS. I got the wifi link going, but I could not see any targets. Looked it up when I got home and now I know why. iNavX will work, so I guess I'll be grabbing that.
OTOH the phone had no issue connecting to the $30 Yakker wifi access point. More to follow once I go down there tomorrow, but if this works it is a very good buy! I also need to consider how much belt and suspenders wiring to do. The VHF could possibly run off the CP180 GPS instead of the AIS GPS. The AIS GPS signal can feed the plotter if the GPS for that dies. I could probably think of a few other things to cross connect too and end up with a mile of wire.

And my plotter via 183. Lots of targets around Annapolis!

If you have a lot of AIS targets they will totally overload a 4800 baud channel. The plotter goes off to SH tomorrow. $35 to upgrade the firmware and $15 more to wipe the MMSI from one of my old VHFs. I have to say Standard Horizon is doing well by me today :) Also props to MilltechMarine. I had one of their AIS receivers for years and it has migrated to another C&C lately.
