Yes. On many boats the nav computer, the GPS and the AIS receiver are three separate boxes, each with its own WiFi or its own port. NavimetriX can now listen to them at the same time, with no multiplexer.
Open Settings, section GPS & NMEA, and turn on Advanced mode. The page reorganises into six tabs.
- GPS: a dedicated GPS, when the position does not come from the instruments.
- Instruments: wind, depth, log, heading, and often the position.
- AIS: a separate AIS receiver or transponder.
- Extra 1 to 3: everything else — barometer, MOB receiver, standalone sensor.
Each tab carries its own link, with its protocol, address and port. A link you do not use is declared by setting its NMEA Protocol to None.
AIS targets from every link are merged into a single list: whichever link a vessel arrives on, it appears once. Wind, depth and the other measurements are taken wherever they arrive.
If you know neither the addresses nor the ports, the Scan NMEA devices button searches for you and proposes a role for each stream it finds.
Note: going back to standard mode does not merely hide the other tabs, it shuts those links down. Their settings are kept and come back as soon as advanced mode is switched on again.
