Developer: zapfware
First release : 07 Feb 2014
App size: 2.41 Mb
NMEAconnect can connect to almost any NMEA source using TCP/UDP, BLE, internal/external GPS, Simulation or Logfile and act as an NMEA server/bridge due TCP/UDP.
With NMEAconnect you have:
∙ support of NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000 or SignalK data of almost any device
∙ a simple setup with preconfigured sources plus versatile configuration options
∙ all values ordered into clear Modules
∙ a NMEA multiplexer, hub or switch
∙ a server/repeater to forward NMEA messages to other devices (some NMEA-WiFi gateways are accepting only one client)
∙ a server of the internal GPS Position as NMEA data to an external device
∙ a MQTT broker, client or gateway
∙ ‚unlimited‘ NMEA log (even when NMEAconnect is in background)
∙ nmeaconnect:// protocol to provide NMEA data e.g. to a Filemaker database
∙ background updates
∙ a visual indicator for NMEA activity
∙ Environments to handle different setups
∙ Message-Rules: Block, Gate Time and TalkerID for each NMEA sentence
