Anyone ever heard of a way to hook up a bigger screen to your display on your fish finder? Just curious. Maybe an old computer monitor would work.

The XX8 models use a VC-1 cable for composite video-out.
The ONIX models use a HDMI cable for video-out.
Your issue will be finding an affordable D/C powered, sunlight viewable, weather proof display.
Do a web search for weather proof Hi-bright monitor.

I'm not a fan of Google Glass for privacy reasons, but being able to send the graph display to that might be neat.

The external screen will only mirror the fishfinders screen correct?
