Electronic chartplotters always require a computer, or sometimes multiple computers. It is a feature of the implementation, and sometimes of regulatory requirements, whether the computer is a general-purpose one that can run other applications, or must be dedicated to the chartplotter application. Especially when the chartplotter generates three-dimensional displays, as used for fishing, considerable processing power and video memory can be needed.
Recreational marine chartplotters are used for displaying chart data. Normally a chartplotter is also fed GPS input to compute an accurate position of the vessel. These marine electronics devices are continuously evolving with larger screens, increased processing power, and multi-function capabilities that allow them to display data from a connected radar, fish finder, weather receiver, or be coupled to another marine chartplotter via a marine network.
