Looking for testers to kick tires of yet another application.
PolarCOM is an integrated
NMEA 0183 marine navigation instrument data bridge and multipurpose data display. Available for Apple Mac OS X and Windows systems, it provides:
* Support for multiple
NMEA 0183 data sources and instrument types
* TCP and UDP
network server support permits sharing your
NMEA 0183 data with network-enabled
navigation software. (Personally I tested with a few production packages, which I will not name to avoid promoting competition
)
*
NMEA data logging and replay capability
* Customizable set of digital
instruments for data display, providing virtually infinite combinations of views (which actually look a little better than text boxes).
The
current version is 0.1 ALPHA - still has that new car smell
We are very much interested in feedback - in particular on types of information (both NMEA data and display values) you are most interested to see added next. This product would also benefit from being tried with various real world devices - the more the better.
