With more and more modern boats having an NMEA2000 network at the heart of their navigation system, it is really important that you have the tools to investigate the devices and data on the network should things not work as planned.
There are some NMEA2000 tools available but they only run on Windows and do not support all of the latest PGNs plus they can be difficult to install.
Digital Yacht’s NMEA2000 Display App takes a new approach and is the World’s first multi-platform, browser based NMEA2000 Display App that will run on Windows, LINUX, Mac OSX and Raspbian. There is no installation and if you can save a file and find it again, then that is as complex as it gets with just a single HTML5 file to worry about (less than 0.5MB in size).
This simple but powerful web app, in conjunction with our iKonvert USB gateway, can display all PGNs and Devices on your NMEA2000 network.
You need to use an app with a browser that supports the Web Serial API, which currently includes Chrome, Chromium, MS Edge and Opera. We also plan to support Firefox going forward (with its WebSerial Extension) but this was not possible for the first release of the app.
