About NMEA Dashboard

This app displays real time data from a marine electronics network. To use it you'll need a boat and hardware that publishes NMEA-0183 messages onto a wifi network (I use Yacht Devices' YDWG-02).

Data is displayed on one or more pages, each containing a grid of data elements. Long hold any data element to change the data it is displaying or its format. Each cell can hold either the current value of some property or a plot of the property over time. Swipe left or right to move between pages (or use the number keys if you have a keyboard). You can add or remove pages and change the number of elements on each page using the "Pages" menu. Every form also has its own help page. Please read this by tapping the question mark at the top right of the screen to find out more about what the form does and why.

As a prudent mariner please use the data displayed on this app with caution and crosscheck against other sources whenever possible. Many different things could potentially go wrong from malfunctions in a boat's sensor to bugs in the software to problems with your configuration.

This software is open source and licenced under the MIT License. I'm developing it as a hobby but do plan on spending a few hours a month expanding and improving it. If you run into any problems or have feature requests I should consider please file issues at https://github.com/sankeysoft/nmea_dashboard/issues.

It just works! I was able to connect to Yacht Devices ydwg-02 easily. Gauges are easy to modify. Would like some additional features but it's useful as-is.

Works perfectly. Love the page that shows all the available values. Maybe a paid version would have graphical wind direction rose dial.
