2021-08-09	Ro*****	The App is fundamentally very good however I struck an unexpected annoying surprise with the NMEA data extension that I purchased (iRegatta+N, version 4.07 Android version with iRegatta NMEA extension). The tablet I am using has internal GPS and internal compass which I wanted to use with iRegatta. I have separate Wind and Speed instruments and set up a NMEA 0183 to WiFi gateway to transmit the following NMEA sentences to the tablet and iRegatta App: - VHW Speed through water. - MWV Apparent Wind Direction and Speed. I was hoping to use these NMEA signals in addition to the internal GPS and compass to provide the full set of inputs for iRegatta. However under iRegatta Settings - NMEA Input - Choose Instrument Data Source; there are only 4 available selections: - Internal GPS - Bluetooth NMEA - WiFi TCP NMEA - WiFi UDP NMEA If WiFi (TCP or UDP) NMEA is selected iRegatta stops using the internal GPS data. The internal compass continues to be used. If using NMEA data, the only solution presently to obtain GPS appears to be that you need to install an external GPS with NMEA output. I am resigned to having to go ahead and do this and unfortunately will need to drop the Speed Through Water data as my WiFi Gateway only has two NMEA ports.
