Remote Diagnostics

1 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

establish a connection with a marine electronics device over a remote connection;

receive data from the marine electronics device, wherein the received data describes one or more operating conditions of the marine electronics device; and

perform a diagnostic test on the marine electronics device via the remote connection.

2 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising computer-executable instructions that cause the computer to modify one or more settings on the marine electronics device.

3 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 2 , wherein the one or more settings on the marine electronics device are modified in response to the diagnostic test.

4 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the remote connection is initiated by a cloud server.

5 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the data comprises a log of errors or crashes that occurred while the marine electronics device was operating.

6 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the data describes system performance of the marine electronics device.

7 . A marine electronics device, comprising:

one or more processors;

a screen configured to display marine data; and

memory having a plurality of executable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

establish a connection with a remote device;

transmit data to the remote device, wherein the transmitted data describes one or more operating conditions of the marine electronics device or a peripheral device in communication with the marine electronics device;

receive an instruction from the remote device to perform a diagnostic test on the marine electronics device or the peripheral device.

8 . The marine electronics device of claim 7 , wherein the executable instructions further cause the processor to:

perform the diagnostic test on the marine electronics device or the peripheral device; and

transmit results of the diagnostic test to the remote device.

9 . The marine electronics device of claim 7 , wherein the executable instructions further cause the processor to:

receive an instruction from the remote device to modify a setting on the marine electronics device or the peripheral device; and

modify the setting on the marine electronics device or the peripheral device.

10 . The marine electronics device of claim 7 , wherein the peripheral device is a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, a radar system, a sonar system, a propulsion system, a navigation system, a lighting system, a wireless data communication device, a wireless audio communication device, an audio or video entertainment device, or a weather or environmental sensor system.

11 . The marine electronics device of claim 7 , wherein the transmitted data comprises telematics data describing the peripheral device.

12 . The marine electronics device of claim 7 , wherein the transmitted data corresponds to a switch position, a switch activation system, an electric power generation and supply system, a water management system, a lighting system, or a security system.

13 . The marine electronics device of claim 7 , wherein the transmitted data describes an error, fault, or problem that occurred while the peripheral device was operating.

14 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

establish a connection with a marine electronics device over a remote connection;

receive data from the marine electronics device, wherein the received data describes one or more operating conditions of a peripheral device in communication with the marine electronics device; and

perform a diagnostic test on the peripheral device via the remote connection.

15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , further comprising computer-executable instructions that cause the computer to modify one or more settings on the peripheral device in response to the diagnostic test.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the remote connection is initiated by a cloud server.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the peripheral device is a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, a radar system, a sonar system, a propulsion system, a navigation system, a lighting system, a wireless data communication device, a wireless audio communication device, an audio or video entertainment device, or a weather or environmental sensor system.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the received data comprise telematics data describing the peripheral device.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the received data corresponds to a switch position, a switch activation system, an electric power generation and supply system, a water management system, a lighting system, or a security system.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the received data describes an error, fault, or problem that occurred while the peripheral device was operating.
