That will only work if you are away and within WiFi range of your boat.
At $500 it is an expensive option. You could also get a WiFi enabled plotter (most made in the last couple of years are) and use the remote app to see what the plotter sees from the shore. On my Raymarine (Garmin and Simrad/B&G have similar features) I can see a perfect representation of what is on the plotter's screen and interact with it from an iOS or Android device over WiFi.
WiFi range is not that far, so your example would work in a quiet anchorage, but would be unlikely to work in someplace like Friday Harbor.
