YACHT DEVICES NMEA2000 WI-FI Gateway

The NMEA 2000 Wi-Fi Gateway allows you to see data from a NMEA 2000 marine digital network on a PC or smartphone with it, you get marine network data including vessel course, speed, position, wind speed and direction, water depth, AIS messages from vessels and aircrafts and other navigation data in popular software applications the Device creates its own Wi-Fi network (with range of about 30 meters in open spaces) or it can be connected to an existing Wi-Fi network in the second case.

The coverage depends on coverage of the base network.

laptops and PCs can be connected to Wi-Fi routers (and the Gateway) by E thernet and you can configure remote access to a Gateway over the Internet to configure the Gateway, you need any Wi-Fi enabled device (laptop or smartphone) with any web browser the Device´s settings can be reset to the factory values using the hidden reset button the Gateway supports TCP and UDP network protocols (both can be enabled at the same time).

For UDP protocol.

The number of clients (physical devices or software applications) is unlimited the Device has a bi-directional converter between NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 protocol.

NMEA 0183 protocol is widely supported in marine applications dating back to last millennium.

So the Device is compatible with virtually all marine mobile applications (except applications especially designed for use only with specific hardware) and with most popular PC applications.

Moreover, you do not need to install applications to view realtime vessel data.

We added colorful, web-based gauges to built-in administrative web site, and now you can view wind, engines and fuel rate, pressure of oil, coolant and fuel, tanks and batteries (or using circular gauges), course, speed, depth and other data right from a browser.

You can customize any page´s layout and its sets of data bars.

You can even watch NMEA logs! Save on apps, save on additional instrument displays and monitor your boat from your sofa with a smartphone! No internet connection is required and it is free.

See this guide to learn more about the built-in web gauges the Gateway automatically records your track with wea ther, depth and other data to the internal memory (up to 16256 points) these data can be saved from the internal web site to GPX (for Garmin MapSource, Google Earth or other cartographic applications) or CSV (spreadsheet) files.

If the Gateway has an internet connection, it can automatically upload recoreded data to Cloud Service.

Cloud Service allows easy access to your tracks or monitor your boat from home and lets you share your position with family and friends to learn more about Cloud Service, read this article or visit:

https://cloud.yachtd.com/ the Gateway also supports RAW protocol, which is supported in a popular Expedition software and CAN Log Viewer.

It allows transferring of any NMEA 2000 messages (including proprietary) to application and in reverse direction.

You can record messages to a CAN file and/or monitor in real time with free CAN Log Viewer software (Mac OS X, Windows, Linux).

It can be useful for NMEA 2000 or J1939 networks setup and troubleshooting the recorded.

CAN file can be converted to a DAT format and processed with YDVR Converter software to convert NMEA 2000 data to GPX tracks, spreadsheets and other formats of course, it is not as convenient as recording data with the Voyage Recorder, but it is suitable for tests and trials, etc the RAW protocol is open and is supported also in our USB Gateway.

We hope that it will become popular among software developers, because it is very simple and free.
