I'd like to set up a Wifi as WAN (WAW) network onboard, so I can maintain my own personal WIFI network regardless of location for onboard navigation across multiple devices - Mac Mini, iPad, iPhone, etc. - and be able to connect the whole thing to the internet via WAW through cellular service or other wifi network when available.

Would love to use all the Apple gear I currently have (Time Capsules, Airport Express, etc.) but don't see how those can be configured to work for WAW as that capability to bridge seems to require special gear.]]>

I'm planning to connect my new Raymarine autopilot with my iMac and would be delighted if someone with knowledge would like to share some idéas with me. I know there are several interfaces that translates SeaTalk to NMEA, but I can't figure out if any of them have two way communication with SeaTalk. Is it possible to plan a route in MacENC or OpenCPN and have the Raymarine autopilot following the route?

I have been looking at the ShipModul MiniPlex-2USB, the SeaTalk NMEA Bridge from gadgetpool.de and the Raymarine SeaTalk NMEA PC interface. Which one will do the best job? I don't know what is the best set up for GPS either, should I go for the Raymarine Raystar 130, or any NMEA compatible antenna?

Hardware: Raymarine Autopilot and controller new 2013 (Type 1 linear drive until, p70R control unit, EV200 autopilot computer)

Hoping for some help here to save time and money

We plan very long sailing passage, when every Ah important :-)

Do You have any idea how reduce MacBook Pro power consumption?

Yes we have solar and wind charger, but it still for 24x7 it not enough.

I test - if I remove battery it's reduce power for 1A, it's good, but may be anybody has another idea?

That makes it easy to install, because there are no wires to run down the mast and through the boat. It also comes with U-bolts for easy mounting on a stern rail or stanchion until the masthead is accessible.

The vane sends wind information by radio signal to a small base unit, which converts the data to standard NMEA format for marine electronics.  The base unit runs on AA batteries, and transmits the NMEA data to the iOS device by wifi.  

This data is open, so it could be received on a computer running a chartplotter program, on an onboard multiplexer/router, or by a mobile app.  For example, here are the set-up steps for using the iNavX app and MacENC with the SailTimer Wind Vane. There is also a new version of the SailTimer app that displays the wind speed and direction, but also uses them to continuously update the optimal tacks and Tacking Time to Destination as the wind changes.

Although the SailTimer Wind Vane may look like a simple device in a hi-res photo, it has some amazing engineering built in.  It has moving parts and is waterproof (no mean feat), but the internal software also leads to some pretty intelligent behavior.  The vane spends most of its time asleep.  But it wakes itself up every 8 seconds to see if anything wants to talk to it.  If a user is detected, the Wind Vane stays awake but transmits for just a few milliseconds each time to save power.  The vane can actually run for about 65 days on a full battery charge.  It can recharge 8 hours of sailing usage with 1 hour of direct sunlight.  

The SailTimer Wind Vane has the unique ability to send data to an iPad or iPhone, is priced at US $588 online with next-day shipping, and comes with a 2-year guarantee.]]> SailTimer Wind Vane is solar-powered and wireless.
