NMEA 0183 to WiFi Bridge - Madman Marine Model NTWB1

This NMEA to WiFi device enables the NMEA data available from your vessel to be broadcast over WiFi to up to seven (7) WiFi connected devices such as PCs, laptops, iPads, iPhones, and Android tablets & phones. It has been designed for owner installation and is ready for use after making a few electrical connections.

Connecting a WiFi Device-

1. Navigate to the WiFi settings on the device you wish to connect to the gateway.

2. Look for the 'Madman xxxx' SSID (where xxxx is a mix of numbers and /or letters) in the list of available WiFi networks.

3. Select the Madman xxxx network and wait for your device to establish a WiFi connection. No password is required.

4. When your WiFi device has connected to the NTWB1 the red LED will stop flashing and will remain off.

The NTWB1 will stay awake whenever NMEA data is being received periodically with no more than 60 seconds between datagrams. While in sleep mode, all lights remain off, the WiFi radio is turned off and only a small amount of power will be consumed. Because the WiFi radio is off the 'Madman xxxx' SSID will not be found.

The NTWB1 will enter sleep mode to save power if no NMEA data has been received for 60 seconds. It will automatically wake up every 5 minutes or whenever NMEA data is being received.

To wake the NTWB1 from sleep mode do one of the following:

• Send NMEA data to it (via the wired NMEA connection)

• Wait 5 minutes at which time it will automatically wake up

• Cycle the power to it.

I used this with my Garmin GPS unit and OpenCPN and the Aqua Map App. Worked really good.

Really simple to wire as well.

Price is $65 shipped paid via paypal.

Thanks for looking...
