NMEA Dashboard

About this app

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

Data is shown across one or more pages, each containing a grid of data cells. Long-press any cell to change the data it displays or its format. Swipe left or right to move between pages. You can add or remove pages, and change the number of cells on each page, from the "Pages" menu.

To learn more, tap "Help & License" in the main menu, or tap the question mark at the top right of each form.

As a prudent mariner, please treat the data shown in this app with caution and cross-check it against other sources whenever possible. Many things can go wrong — from a faulty sensor on the boat, to a bug in the software, to a problem with your configuration.

This software is open source and licensed under the MIT License. I develop it as a hobby, but I do spend time every few months expanding and improving it. If you run into problems or have feature requests worth considering, please file an issue at https://github.com/sankeysoft/nmea_dashboard/issues

Ratings and reviews

This app is just brilliant. I'm migrating to new NMEA Transducer for Depth Wind Speed etc... & this app means I don't need to buy a instrument for each thing I want to measure. Just get a rugged Android tablet & stick it wherever you need it on the boat, have a different set of meters with readings for when underway or at rest. Would be great to have more choice on shape of the dials but otherwise it's superb.

Good and functional app, appart from the fact that there is no always on option ( i think) and graphs stop recording when exiting the app or turning off display. If it was running in background, that would make it much better. Thank you anyways for your free and solid contribution to the sailing society! I love the fact that I can customise what I want to see and how much of it.

it would be great to be able to change the font size of the headings
