The DataHub Pro 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 Pro Wi-Fi or the DataHub Pro LAN Ethernet port and then configure your Navigational App to receive it.

With your Navigational App configured to receive the DataHub Pro 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.
