The DataHub converts NMEA2000 (N2K) data for many of your boat's instruments into NMEA0183 and broadcasts this via DataHub Wi-Fi and Ethernet LAN over TCP and UDP. This allows you to share a variety of your boat's N2K data with navigation apps such as Navionics, Aquamaps or OpenCPN on your laptop, tablet or mobile

To receive this data feed into your Navigation App, see this article: DataHub connecting by Wi-Fi to Navionics, Aquamaps or OpenCPN to receive NMEA data

The DataHub also supports sharing your N2K data as an NMEA0183 stream over the Internet via TCP to remotely view and monitor your vessel. To learn more about sharing N2K data over the Internet via the DataHub, see: DataHub how to share NMEA data over the Internet

DataHub Autopilot - NMEA0183 to NMEA2000 conversion

The DataHub also supports basic routing functionality for autopilots connected to the DataHub via N2K; it does this by supporting the receipt of NMEA0183 messages, calculation and sending of NMEA2000 messages PGN 129283, 129284, and 129285.

The DataHub Autopilot feature allows you to connect Navigation Apps such as AquaMaps and OpenCPN to convert these NMEA0183 messages when sent:

  • Cross Track Error - XTE gets converted to PGN 129283

  • Navigation and Route Data - APB/RMB gets converted to PGN 129284/129285

To learn more about DataHub Autopilot support, please see: DataHub how to use the Autopilot feature
