Description

Evaluation version of MID WiFi and Marine Instrument Display.

Marine Instrument Display WiFi allows you to create/follow/transfer routes, track your path, control autopilot, receive/store/forward NMEA0183 data over WiFi and see AIS targets on the map. Send/receive data through iCloud (e.g. remote anchor alarm).

MID WiFi also features the world's first autopilot controller app for Apple Watch.

Search "Marine Instrument Display" for Lite version.

* = Internal GPS or NMEA-WiFi bridge required
** = NMEA-WiFi bridge required (e.g. Vesper Marine XB-8000 and WatchMate Vision, Simrad GoFree WIFI-1, RS232-WiFi, Digital Yacht iAIS/WLN10, ShipModul MiniPlex-2/3Wi, PilotsTech PilotPlug, iMux, Ockam LANbridge)

WIND VIEW
- Shows Apparent and True Wind Angles simultaneously
- Size of the blue sector indicates the variation in wind direction
- Red dot shows the BTW

MAP VIEW
- AIS targets (**
- Create and follow routes
- Transfer routes on NMEA
- Create and replay tracks
- Autopilot control (Raymarine, requires MiniPlex-3Wi)
- Share tracks and data by email (GPX, NMEA)
- Access stored NMEA data via iTunes File Sharing

ALARMS
- Depth (Deep, Shallow)
- Anchor (Deep, Shallow, Distance)
- Wind (AWA/TWA/AWS/TWS High/Low, TWD Shift)

HOW TO USE
- Tap the SET to enter the Settings page
- Tap the value of any field to cycle through the color modes
- Tap/swipe the title of any field (such as TIME) to select the data to the field
- Tap a unit to cycle through the unit modes
- Tap the unit (°) of the heeling (HLG) to calibrate (zero angle)
- Press the value of any field at least two seconds to reset the TIME, ASOG, MSOG and TRIP
- Rename a route or a track by tapping the name of it
- Use IP address 255.255.255.255 for the UDP broadcast/multicast. The port for the Simrad GoFree discovery is 2050 or 2052, 5000-5010 are for Ockam LANbridge and 55554 for SailTimer Wind Vane.
- Use 127.0.0.1 and port 55554 SailTimer Wind Instrument
- NMEA0183 data can be forwarded as UDP multicast to other devices

- The trip time runs while moving (SOG > 0)
- The COG is shown while moving (SOG > 0)

COUNTDOWN TIMER
- Configure the start time (1 - 30 minutes) by touching the SET to enter the Settings view
- Start/sync the timer by touching the "sync"
- Stop the timer by touching the "sync" at least two seconds
- The timer beeps every minute and when 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 second(s) are remaining

CALIBRATION
1. The back cover must be faced forward accurately in order to get the correct compass heading.
2. Mount the iPhone/iPad securely and make sure it cannot move accidentally to ANY direction.
3. Tap the unit field (°) of the heeling (HLG). HLG is set to zero and the heading shows the correct value.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Has potential, but appears abandoned.

After getting a fully bidirectional seatalk wifi bridge (NMEA3WIFI), the auto pilot controls work.
The UI is glitchy and appears to require internet.
My old iPad appears to work better than newer iPhone.

Couldn’t find the “set” button

Couldn’t find the “set” button mentioned in the instructions. Therefore couldn’t evaluate the NMEA functionality. In any case the idea to tap on displays in a round robin fashion (i.e. having to to tap an unknown number of times to get back) is super frustrating and is a no-go. We are in 2nd decade of the 21st century. Why mimic something from the 90s?

So much potential - and almost there

Gave this 3 stars because it has so much potential. Currently not usable and do not get the paid version or you will be unhappy! ****Save your money and read this review****

1) some data from nmea1083 stream comes in fine but depth does not and wind data is intermittent. Same data stream to other apps was solid.
2) iPad is stuck in setting screen where you configure server. Server is configured and you can see data stream, but you cannot get to done button or error report button. Have reset iPad, rebooted, and deleted and reinstalled app. No change so it is stuck. iPhone does not have this issue.
3) please allow changing of data field by long press to bring up menu to scroll through available data fields- as opposed to endless taping to cycle through fields.
4) allow a temp license for paid application.
5) allow user to customize how many data fields are shown. Would be great to use iPad as a mast display and have 4-5 fields shown so that you can read field heading and units from a distance.

Fix these, make it stable and I would gladly pay $40+ for this application. Let me know if the android version is better and I would go that route!
