Product Detail
Digital Yacht's WLN10 Smart NMEA to WiFi gateway takes iPad and tablet integration on the water to new heights. It connects to on - board GPS, AIS, and instrument systems and wirelessly transfers real - time data to iPads or tablets. Compatible apps can then display and compute this data. The WLN10 sets up a secure, password - protected WiFi network on the boat.
When connected to an AIS system, apps like NavLink, TimeZero, iAIS, iSailor, Seapilot, and many more can show real - time AIS target positions and identity data on detailed electronic charts. Your tablet turns into a full - function navigation display.
This WLN10 version allows easy programming through a simple browser interface for NMEA 0183 data at 4800 or 38400 baud. Just log in to the IP address to set the baud rate, SSID, and password. The web interface also lets you view received NMEA data for quick fault - finding.
The WLN10 Smart supports both UDP and TCP/IP interfaces, enabling you to use a PC at the chart table and an iPad on deck. It's bidirectional, so apps can control an autopilot if enabled.
It has one NMEA0183 input configurable via the web interface. You can use the SeaTalk to NMEA adaptor to connect SeaTalk instrument data directly.

Using the Digital Yacht WLN10 Smart NMEA to WiFi Converter is a breeze. First, connect it to your on - board GPS, AIS, or instrument systems. Then, set up the secure WiFi network by logging into the IP address through a simple browser interface. Here, you can set the baud rate (either 4800 or 38400 baud), SSID, and password. Once the network is set up, connect your iPad or tablet to it.
To view real - time data, open a compatible navigation app. For example, if you're connected to an AIS system, apps like NavLink or iAIS will show you target positions and identity data on detailed electronic charts.
When it comes to maintenance, keep the converter in a dry place as it has an IPX4 rating, which means it's somewhat protected against water splashes. Check the connections regularly to ensure there are no loose wires. If you encounter any issues, use the web interface to view the received NMEA data, which can help you find and fix problems quickly. Also, make sure the software on your connected devices is up - to - date for the best performance.
