Hello Boaters,
I like to inform you that the iPhone/iPad/iPad Touch App [url=http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nmearemote/id412806204?mt=8&uo=4" target="itunes_store]NMEAremote [/url] has just released on iTunes.

Can you explain what your app does? There's no information on the iTunes page besides some screenshots.
Hello,
this app is a remote or repater display for your NMEA data. You have to connect your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch to the NMEA network due a NMEA/RS232-Wifi bridge or a computer with the appropriate software. When connected it displays nearly all of your NMEA data. You have several display chapters for Navigation (Position, COG, SOG, Satelites in View,..), Velocity (Speed, VMG,..), Weather (AWA, AWS, TWA, TWS,...), Sounding, Heading,...
Further you can select between different display themes. The data is shown either analog or in a digital LCD segment style.
I'm still working on more features.
In iTunes you can collapse the short desricption too see more information.

What about data from NMEA2000?
So far there is no standard for sending N2K data over WiFi. The solution I am using is to combine an Actisense NGW-1 ISO with a Brookhouse iMux. The NGW-1 takes the N2K data from my N2K backbone and converts it to N-0183 and then the iMux broadcasts it to my iDevice which iNavX displays.
I have PolarCom on my mac to show nmea1803 data. Now I am trying to make iPhone with nmearemote to show same information but did not get it work. Do i have to get some bridge application to mac-laptop send with wifi those informations.
I am testing this with usb-gps that works well on PolarCom.
Problem solved, just had to set "GP" into nmearemote IDtalker setting.
Documentation would have helped...
Hi GBnorth,
sorry I didn't saw your post.
There was a bug in NMEAremote if the TalkerID is only a whitespace character it didn't work and unfortunately the preconfigured "NMEA over IP" contains this whitespace.
But it is fixed with the recent version.
Documentation is work in progress, but will come.
Regards
Michael
