Here's the goal:
"An integrated system, operated and viewed from a portable laptop/tablet and a mounted plotter screen (down below) that gives 'local area' wind direction and speed arrows, and is integrated with GPS location, local charts, current, and ideally, lay lines to the next waypoint.
There seem to be several ways to skin this cat - too many. I'll be happy spend $3-4K on a good integrated system (B&G? Garmin? other?) - especially if a lot of it is wireless ;-) I just can't work out how to make the decision - looking to extended Caribbean cruising, but capable of expanding to further afield."
How do we get there?
