About RayControl
RayControl allows you to remotely view and control your Raymarine e,c,ES and Axiom Multi-Functional Display from your iPad.

Getting Started
Download the RayControl app, and install it on your device.
Next, connect to your Multifunction Display via Wi-Fi (see MFD operators manual for Wi-Fi setup details).
When the Wi-Fi connection is established, launch the app. You should now see the same image on your mobile device as you do on your Raymarine c-Series or e-Series multifunction display.

Ratings and Reviews
Good, but not great
This works, but gets 3 out of 5 stars overall.
It looses one star for being slow to display info. It is a couple of seconds behind what is actually being shown on the display. It gets frustrating to touch a control button and then wait a couple of seconds to see a response.
It looses a second star for being slow and still costing $50.
Overall, really happy with my e7 and the iPad integration. The free RayView is great. However, I was expecting better performance for $50 on the RayControl. Lower the price or, better, re-architect the app to reduce lag/increase performance.
Poorly written app with horrible Ray Marine Tech support
I've been using this app for five months now very poorly written, app it loses connectivity via Wi-Fi constantly. Only way to get it to work again is re-join the axiom Wi-Fi from both iPad and iPhone.
I contacted Ray Marine took me several hours to actually speak to a human being was told by supposedly "lead technician" that "New app was going to be released in the next couple of weeks" that fixes stability issues and control. This was back in January still no app update. Notice the dates on the reviews many many years old.
Why no data privacy policy Ray Marine?
As you can see I am an unhappy New 2021 customer of $5000 worth of RayMarine equipment including Axiom+ EV 100 auto pilot and accessories.
I'm guessing this is why Ray Marine is considered the worst marine equipment manufacturer in the industry today!
Works well
The app seems to work well for me. Great tool
