Hi,
this season I will sail on a yacht which is equipped with a Notebook running Windows. As navigation software "Chart Navigator Professional" by NV-Verlag is installed.
As far as I found out, there is no way to connect an iPad to that application as it cannot serve NMEA data via TCP/IP.
Is there an easy and not too expensive way to get the iPad connected? Basically I need a software which only acts as a server. No navigational functions needed as that will be done by "Chart Navigator".
Does anyone know a piece of share- or freeware to accomplish this job?
Thanks in advance!
PS: Serial port replication is not an issue here as the AIS receiver/Multiplexer has a USB and a serial output - so there is one for each application.
