Does Cartography network to multiple displays?

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Yachtspecco,

Q1. Does Cartography network to multiple displays?
A1. Yes. However the MFDs must be interfaced via an Ethernet network. Please click here to view a FAQ addressing this subject.

Q2. I presume the gps signals from the multiple MFD's will be disabled except for one to avoid system confusion. Therefore there will be a designated Master display, correct?
A2. The MFD's Data Sources feature (HOME->SET-UP->SYSTEM SETTINGS->DATA SOURCES) must be used when more than one source of any specific type of data is present within the system. This feature is utilized by the system to specify which source(s) will be used by the system. The Data Master MFD will typically be the one which has been interfaced as a spur to the SeaTalkng backbone. Should more than one MFD be interfaced as a spur to the SeaTalkng backbone (sometimes done for redundancy purposes), then any one of the spurred MFDs may be designated as the system's Data Master.

Q3. He desires the larger 9" displays for visual clarity and this will allow charts displayed full screen on one with radar on the second as well as overlay capability on either. The e7d would move to the seldom used inside steering station.
A3. This is indeed possible ... see the response to Q1.
