Does the DataHub require an Internet connection for the Anchor Alert app to work?
The DataHub does not require an Internet connection to use the Anchor Alert app while you are on the boat. Please ensure your phone is connected to DataHub Wi-Fi to receive alerts.
While off the boat, to receive updates, the DataHub requires either an Iridium GO exec, Starlink or 4G Router (e.g. Peplink) internet connection for sending alerts and N2K updates to your phone.
What do I need for the Anchor Alert app to work?
To start an Anchor Alert Pro session, you'll need:

The Anchor Alert App with a Pro subscription. This can be purchased in-app.
A PredictWind Account. You can create one in-app or here.
A PredictWind DataHub connected to your boat's NMEA2000 / N2K network.
Your boat's instruments are connected to the N2K network and powered on, with GPS, Wind, and Depth (if you have them).
For remote monitoring, the DataHub requires an Internet connection, i.e. Starlink, high-speed Wi-Fi, cellular or Iridium GO exec.
