You can send NMEA data to instruments to:
- Control an autopilot by activating navigation to a waypoint.
- Send data from your mobile device's internal sensors (1) to external repeaters.
- Send data to NKE Multigraphic instruments.
In the Settings menu, select the GPS & NMEA option.
In order to be received by your instruments, the sentences must be transmitted via a bidirectional gateway or multiplexer, usually via Wi-Fi, but also via USB. To be processed, you must first check the sentences allowed by your instruments in their user manual (autopilot, chartplotter, repeater, etc.).
For NKE instruments, you can feed each of the 8 dynamic channels of the NKE Multigraphic from a list of sentences by scrolling down the menu for each channel.
(1) Depending on the mobile device used, mainly smartphones and tablets, the sensors may include:
- Built-in GPS.
- Digital compass.
- 3-axis gyroscope.
- Electronic barometer.
