NavLink 2 NMEA to WiFi Gateway
Digital Yacht's NMEA to WiFi adapter.
NavLink:
NavLink is a low cost app designed for use with an iPhone or iPad. It
transforms your iPad into a full function chart plotter with detailed electronic
charts and an overlay of your boat’s position, track and heading. It’s purchased
through the Apple app store and includes detailed Admiralty UKHO charts covering
the whole of the UK & Eire. Additional USA (S57 NOAA), French, Benelux,
German and Danish charts can be added via an In-App Purchase. The NOAA S57
charts cover the whole of the US.
Charts can be presented north up or course up and routes and waypoints are
created and edited using a simple touch screen interface. Real time navigation
shows your current position, track, course, speed, ETA, VMG, bearing and
distance to next waypoint. There’s a simple A-B chart ruler too and you can tap
on an object such as a buoy or nav-aid and get a pop up data window of its
characteristics. Current weather data and local conditions can be downloaded
from weather buoys (internet connection required) which is great for last minute
local weather before setting off on a voyage. The S57 Admiralty UKHO charts are
vector based so data can be layered and enabled / disabled by the user allowing
charts to be de-cluttered as appropriate.
It’s also designed to work seamlessly with Digital Yacht’s NMEA to WiFi
devices so will integrate with your boat’s GPS and AIS systems. If AIS data is
available, you’ll see AIS targets overlaid with all their identity information
and a heading line as well as alarms for CPA and TCPA.
Utilizing your on board GPS with these wireless servers means you don’t need
a GPS enabled iPad. Even if your device is GPS enabled, it significantly reduces
battery drain when using an external source. It also means your iPad/Phone can
be used below deck and generally, the boat’s GPS is superior for marine based
navigation.
NavLink also helps with your watch keeping and lookouts. In HorizonView mode,
you can use the camera on the iPhone/iPad to scan the horizon. You’ll get an
overlay on the camera screen of nav-aids, AIS targets and waypoints which serves
as a great visualization aid.
