I don't think I would go the "computer" route, since it requires an
inverter and a Rube Goldberg setup and still doesn't give you anything

There's nothing Rube Goldberg about it. A lot of people are doing it
either on laptops or tablets. I've been navigating that way for
close to 20 years and tens of thousands of miles. The user interface
for route planning on a PC is much more user friendly than any
dedicated chart plotter that I've ever seen. Since the software and
charts are free you can do all of your trip planning in advance on
your desktop computer. Routes transfer easily from one computer to
another, and in some cases to your chart plotter also.
