About this app

🧭 NMEA NAVIGATION CENTER + PYPILOT REMOTE CONTROL

Two use cases:
πŸ”Ή Have a pypilot autopilot? Control it AND display all your NMEA instruments on tablet.
πŸ”Ή No pypilot? Use PyNav as a standalone NMEA navigation center.

─────────────────────────────────────
βš“ FREE β€” Pypilot Autopilot Control
─────────────────────────────────────
β€’ Engage / disengage autopilot
β€’ Mode selection: compass, wind, GPS, true wind, nav
β€’ Current heading + target heading input
β€’ Rudder angle indicator
β€’ IMU data: pitch, roll, heel, rate of turn
β€’ Full PID gain tuning (P, I, D, DD, PR, FF, WG, Deadzone)
β€’ Compass & rudder calibration, tack parameters
β€’ Pilot profiles (basic, wind, gps, simple, rate, absolute)
β€’ Servo stats: amp-hours, voltage, temperatures, runtime
β€’ Direct WiFi to Raspberry Pi hotspot β€” no router needed

⚠️ Free version: pypilot data only, no external NMEA display.

─────────────────────────────────────
πŸ’Ž PRO β€” Full Navigation Center
πŸŽ‰ Launch price: €8.99 β†’ Regular: €12.99
βœ… One-time purchase β€” No subscription
