When this is completed, you will have a true GPS position on your iPad and your marine navigation app will display real-time AIS target information. Then we can have wireless devices, such as an iPad, connect to the adapter's Wi-Fi network and apps then attach to the data stream so that the information can be used by a marine navigation app such as iNavX.
The goal here is to take the AIS, GPS and DSC NMEA data sentences that are normally sent out the GX2200 data output wires and convert this information into a wireless data stream. Plus this can be done for less than $300. But what about doing this wirelessly to other computing devices such as an iPad? Fortunately this is possible and very easy to do with one of our Wi-Fi adapters such as the Comar I320W NMEA to WiFi Interface Gateway. In a previous post I provided the steps for connecting this device to a computer using a USB cable. This radio has built in AIS and GPS receivers and makes a nice self-contained AIS system - not to mention a great VHF radio. The Standard Horizon GX2200 AIS Matrix VHF radio is one of our most popular products. We have also updated this article to refer to the latest Comar WiFi Gateway, the Comar I320W NMEA to WiFi Interface Gateway The the solution described below also now works for the Navionics apps. UPDATE: The latest Navionics Boating app for iOS and Android now supports AIS and GPS data sent over Wi-Fi.
