yakker nmea to wifi

[markhomer]

any one used one to transmit the ais from a digital yacht transceiver to Ipad using navionics ???,,,, and how .

Not used from Digital Yacht AIS but from a Matsutec 33A. Works fine, as it’s one of the supported devices listed by Navionics. Bear in mind that Navionics produces an icon on the chart but the information behind the icon is limited (no cpa for example). Minor irritation is that all our Apple devices latch on to the Yakker signal rather than the iPhone hot spot....

I have an AIS receiver (EasyAIS A025) which spits out a standard AIS !AIVDM message at 38,400 BPS. This feeds straight into the Yakker which then re-transmits it over Wifi. I use a laptop and tablet both with OpenCPN to view the AIS data and it works seamlessly. In OpenCPN I set up the IP address and port number that Yakker uses (I just use the defaults but they can be changed) and data comes in immediately. Very easy to set up and does exactly what it should. Although I use OpenCPN I guess Navionics will be similar.

I have a similar setup, Comar CSB200 transceiver into this similar one from Portugal - https://ebay.us/rGxu8E - works a treat with my Laptop and OpenCpn
