Description
The Link app gives you remote control of wirelessly connected Simrad, Lowrance, or B&G multifunction displays from your smartphone or tablet. Link lets you select any wirelessly connected display on board, duplicates the screen in real-time on your mobile device, and puts control of most display functions at your fingertips.
Work with charts, sonar, and radar, control your on-board entertainment system, view data from connected engines and instruments, and much more. With Link, you’re constantly connected to your boat’s key systems from anywhere on board – making it easier to plan trips, fish, sail, handle maintenance, and otherwise make the best of your time on the water.
Link also gives you the ability to wirelessly back up and restore waypoints, routes, tracks, and display settings directly to your mobile device. This makes it easier than ever to protect your valuable boating data against loss or theft, and to keep your backups up-to-date with zero hassle.
The Link app is compatible with Simrad NSS evo3, NSS evo2, NSO evo2, NSS7/8/12*, and GO series displays; Lowrance HDS Carbon, HDS Gen3, HDS Gen2 Touch*, HDS Gen2**, and Elite Ti fishfinder/chartplotters; and B&G Zeus³, Zeus², Zeus Touch*, and Vulcan sailing chartplotters. Displays without built-in wireless connectivity require an additional WIFI-1 module. To enable the Link app, a free software update may be required for your display.
Link works with the Apple iPhone 5s and later devices running iOS 9 or above.
* Mirroring only. ** View only.
What’s New
Version 4.3.6
Fixed the Mirroring and Remote Control experience. Chart-plotters are now mirrored in fullscreen once again.
Added support for Local Network Access permissions. Link will now request access to your local network to communicate with your Marine devices, enabling devices to be automatically discovered and used by the apps features.
Ratings and Reviews
Apple Watch
Any chance you could make a version comparable with the Apple Watch?
You can’t be serious
This App interface is something you would have found as shareware that came on a free disk sellotaped to a computer magazine back in the 90’s. Very awkward and troublesome to get to work the first time I set it up on my new HDS7 live. Went to reconnect a month later, can’t connect tried Bluetooth, wireless, etc but to no avail. Note that I’m using an iPhone 11 pro max so it shouldn’t be a compatibility issue, been unsuccessful for an hour or so now trying all configurations. I must be too stupid......Wasted way to much time on it already, should have stuck with Garmin.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for reporting the issue. Our team is working on a fix.
You could try the Lowrance App which soon will have the same features.
Only displays portrait mode
On my iPhone 11 it only displays portrait view so the screen in tiny and unusable. You can see it tries to open landscape when it first open with the left edge of the screen appearing briefly, but then flicks to portrait view and there are no manual settings to change it back.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your comment and feedback. We are aware of the issues and we are working on a fix. Keep in mind that all those features will soon be implemented onto the Lowrance app too.
