“Create a wifi network on your boat with NMEA data available for iPhones, iPad
or Android tablets — and PCs and MACS too. Turn you mobile device into a full
featured navigator with access to all your boat’s AIS data — the WLN10HS is
preset to 38400 baud for AIS information”
This innovative and cost effective wireless device creates its own 802.11b+g
wireless access point which any other wireless device can connect to, such as a
Smart Phone, Netbook or Laptop. Connect it to any device or system that has an
NMEA 0183 output and it will automatically read the data and transmit it
wirelessly to another wireless device.
The NMEA 0183 data is transferred using TCP/UDP protocol to a suitably
compatible application on the wireless device. A number of Marine Navigation
software packages support TCP/UDP data transfer including; SmarterTrack (PC)
OpenCPN (PC/Mac/Linux) SeaPro (PC) Rose Point Coastal Explorer (PC) MaxSea (PC)
and Nobeltec (PC) MacENC (Macs) iNavX (iPhone/iPad) Nav Apps: iSailor and
iRegatta If you are connecting the WLN10HS to an AIS receiver or transponder,
then Digital Yacht’s free iAIS app is downloadable from the Apple App Store,
which will display an AIS radar type picture on your Apple device.
