Features & Capabilities

THE Swiss Army Knife to handle NMEA 0183 & NMEA 2000 data.

NMEAconnect can connect to almost any NMEA source using TCP/UDP, BLE, internal/external GPS, Simulation or Logfile and act as an NMEA server/bridge via TCP/UDP.

With NMEAconnect you have: ∙ support of NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, SignalK or MQTT data of almost any device ∙ a simple setup with preconfigured sources plus versatile configuration options ∙ all values ordered into clear 'Modules' ∙ a NMEA multiplexer, hub or switch ∙ a server/repeater to forward NMEA messages to other devices (most NMEA-WiFi gateways are accepting only one client) ∙ a server of the internal GPS Position as NMEA data to an external device ∙ a MQTT broker, client or gateway ∙ ‚unlimited‘ NMEA log (even when NMEAconnect is in background) ∙ nmeaconnect:// protocol to provide NMEA data e.g. to a Filemaker database ∙ background updates ∙ a visual indicator for NMEA activity ∙ Environments to handle different setups ∙ Message-Rules: Block, Gate Time and TalkerID for each NMEA sentence

I paired this with a Yacht Devices NMEA 2000 WiFi gateway (YDWG-02) and can now see all the traffic on the NMEA 2000 (or SeaTalk NG) network. Either a dump of all the traffic or seeing the data organized by source and signal. For example, I can see that my chart plotter is not talking on the network (problem with chart plotter) and that my wind direction and wind speed are reasonable even though the wind display is out to lunch (need to fix the display, not the sensor). I can even record the data in the raw format and email it to myself for analysis later on.

This is a great app, very configurable. However, when using the internal gps on iPhone, it only produces two nmea message types, and never gets beyond 2d fixes, which some applications need to work well. While it does stay running in the background, it appears to stall and give inconsistent readings at times.
