Connecting directly to a chartplotter (MFD)

You can use the app to connect directly to your Axiom-Series or Axiom 2-Series chartplotter’s (MFD’s) Wi-Fi connection.

When you are connected directly to a chartplotter (MFD), you can use the app to:

Select the Connect to Axiom Chartplotter option in the app and follow the onscreen instructions to connect to your display. The onscreen instructions will guide you through setting up your display and establishing your display’s Wi-Fi connection details.

If this is the first time you are connecting to your display you will also be guided through how to set up a boat.

If your display does not have an Internet connection, you must log in to the Raymarine app before switching to the display’s network.

Note

If your display does not have an Internet connection, your mobile device may automatically revert to its previous network and/or provide a notification to let you know that the connection does not have access to the Internet. If this occurs, try to connect to the display’s connection again, or if there is a notification asking if you want to connect anyway; select the option that allows you to connect anyway.

If the connection fails:

  • Ensure that you have entered the password correctly.

  • Check to see if your mobile device is still connected to your display’s connection and reconnect if necessary.

  • Ensure that the display’s Wi-Fi Sharing sharing option is enabled. This option is located in the This display settings menu on your display: Homescreen > Settings > This display > Wi-Fi Sharing.

Once successfully connected , on the Control tab, under Display mirroring you will see an icon for your display. Your boat name should also appear in the connections status area located in the top right of the screen.
