David,
I have been thinking about the same thing. Try NavMonPC
(http://www.navmonpc.com/). I run the Tack Tick NMEA out to my computer and
into NavMonPC. There is an AP for Android tablets that will allow Windows
computers to be controlled using the Android Tablet. Also, I think you could
route the output of NavMonPC NMEA out to a wireless router and to any other
computer/tablet on board. I’m sure that there are some IT types that can take
it from here.

Thanks Fred- That extra $400 takes it from a not too expensive experiment to
one I have to think about whether it is justified by the budget. Too bad. I
can put the iPad at the helm station for navigation for very little cost, so I
guess I will start with that. It seems like it should not be too long before
the entire boat is wirelessly integrated with a standard router. Dave

Dave — the only way to get from Micronet/TackTick to wired NMEA0183 is the
T122, as far as I know. And that’s what you’ll need to get to WiFi, via a box
from the likes of iSteer, Digital Yacht or Comar.

I installed a TackTick wireless wind sensor on the mast last year and a
receiver at the helm station. I am considering adding an iPad with something
like iRegatta at the helm station. It looks like I need something like this
iSteer device: http://www.madmanmarine.com to get the NMEA to wireless. What
do I need to go from the Tacktick to the iSteer? It looks like the T122
Raymarine Wireless interface may be designed for this, but is that the only
option? That starts bringing the cost of the system up dramatically. I am
concerned that all of this is an expensive toy that will be supplanted rapidly
by better wireless boat systems. Thanks- Dave
