The DataHub converts NMEA2000 (N2K) boat instrumentation data into NMEA0183 and broadcasts this over Wi-Fi and Ethernet by TCP and UDP. To receive this data feed into your Navigation App, connect your device to the DataHub Wi-Fi or the DataHub LAN Ethernet port and then configure your Navigational App to receive it.

With your Navigational App configured to receive the DataHub NMEA0183 feed and a PredictWind Professional subscription, you can also use Over the Horizon AIS (OHA) to view AIS data up to a range of 300 nautical miles directly into your Navigation App.

How to configure Expedition to receive NMEA0183 over Wi-Fi from the DataHub

To configure Expedition to receive NMEA0183 over Wi-Fi from the DataHub:

  1. Connect your laptop or device to DataHub Wi-Fi.

  2. Open Expedition.

  3. In the Menu, select Instruments > # Number of network connections.

  4. Select Network 1 and add the DataHub details as below then click OK.

    1. Alias: DataHub

    2. Instruments: NMEA0183

    3. Connection: UDP

    4. Address: 10.10.10.1

    5. Port: 11101

Once set up, you can set the DataHub as the primary GPS source by clicking in the Menu on the arrow next to Instruments in the menu and then GPS source.

Alternatively, select Network 1 by clicking on the instruments heading.
