Relax more, sailing with the new marine-iPhone App:

Debuting at the international boat show, "Boot 2011" in Düsseldorf, Germany, is the navigation app, "NMEAremote".
With the new app, "NMEAremote", entertainment and navigation at sea has never been so much fun. With your iPhone or iPad connected to your onboard network, you can log in and retrieve important information quickly, clearly and wireless. At a glance, "NMEAremote" shows you all the information you need to know onboard: navigation data, wind speed or water depth, are just a few of the many features.
How it works: The iPhone connects with any NMEA devices over an onboard WLAN such as a "NMEA/ RS232 - WiFi converter", such as "SEAMATE 1A" or a computer with the appropriate software installed. Via the wireless connection, your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch can now receive the NMEA data from the onboard network. This data is decoded by "NMEAremote", evaluated and presented in a clear onscreen graphic. Ship's position, weather, speed or compass - all appear clearly on the screen of your iPhone. This app also works on iPad or iPod Touch and is available at a special introductory price in the iTunes App-Store.

Features:
• NMEA 0183 compatible, combine with any marine network
• bold, easy to read displays multifunction display
• several display themes
• NMEA log (also send as email)
• independent configurable units for speed, distance, depth and wind speed

Displayed Data:
• GPS: LAT/LON, COG/SOG, BTW, DTW, VMG, XTE, TTG, satellites in view & Azimuth, elevation, SNR
• Sounder: depth (min / max depth)
• Weather: app. & true wind, app. & true close hauled, max. wind speed, beaufort, wind direction, water temperature
• Velocity: current speed, max. speed, VMG, log / trip
• Heading: magnetic / true heading, deviation, variation, drift

Supported NMEA-Sentences:
• GLL, RMC, RMB, VTG, XTE, GSA, GSV
• VHW, VLW, VBW • MWV, VWR, VWT, MTW • DBT, DPT
