Mostly sailors are very conservative and the technology has to be bulletproof.
The saying goes that Murphy was an optimistic sailor.
Plotters are a marriage of RADAR and paper charts. The technical integrations are really no trouble for the average system administrator. The problem comes about with the challenges of the environment and the uniqueness of every installation. The market is also small. I think the estimate is around 10,000 yachts actively moving around the world.
Another issue is that there are very few makers or the technology.
I think it's a great area for development because it is immature and in the middle of technical upheaval that nobody really knows what how great a plotter could be.
