To celebrate its RayControl app being shortlisted at the 2012 Dame Award for design excellence at the Marine Equipment Trade Show (METS), Raymarine is offering both RayControl and RayRemote apps free to download until this Sunday January 13.
The RayRemote and RayControl apps, which enable users to control e and c-Series multifunction displays wirelessly from any smartphone or tablet, are available for Apple iOS, Android and Kindle Fire, and can be purchased via the Apple iTunes App store, Google Play Store for Android, and through the Amazon Android Marketplace.
RayControl transforms tablets into both a viewer and a full-function two-way control; the tablet syncs with the multifunction display and users touch the tablet screen to control the MFD; pulling up charts, operating radar and thermal cameras, selecting menus, setting waypoints, and more.
Additionally, RayControl features a ‘pop-out’ virtual keypad mirroring the multifunction display’s rotary controller and hard keys, enabling users to operate all available functions wirelessly and remotely. RayControl is compatible with all Raymarine’s new e Series and c-Series multifunction displays.
RayRemote is designed for use on smartphones, switching their smaller screens between a full screen MFD repeater display and a full screen virtual keypad with just a tap of the display.
The complete virtual keypad mimics that found on the multifunction display, including cursor and rotary controls, allowing users to navigate features, rotate through menus, and make adjustments easily. RayRemote is compatible with all Raymarine’s new e-Series and c-Series multifunction displays.
Offer ends this Sunday January 13, 2013. For further information on the offer see http://www2.raymarine.eu/free-apps.
