Ais

[john m]

Does anyone use the qk ais receiver I was thinking of buying it to link up to my garmin 5012 gps and iPad what is everyone else using and what would you recommend
Thanks

I use a Vespermarine AIS transceiver which displays on my Android tablet via wifi and by cable on my chartplotter. This is what I would recommend but I'm not sure what that is worth really.

Here's one for not a lot of money. Talk to them, they've always been very helpful on the few occasions I have.

Yes, I use the Quark A023 AIS receiver along with a Glomex VHF Splitter and a stabilised 5v power supply, outputting via WiFi to Marine Navigator app on an old Android tablet. All works fine, and cost under £150:
Quark A023 £85
Splitter £56
Power supply £6
Total £147

The app cost about £9, plus another £15 for UK and Ireland charts

So I'd expect the NMEA version to work fine with your Garmin.

the digital nomad is quite good with ipad and navionics also can be moved from boat to boat

Don't have any problem with my Quak A026. Works great with Navionics.

Has anybody here linked a quark unit to a Standard Horizon CP300?
