navCenter is a new app for iOS (iwatch, iphone and iPad) that will also work on MACs using the new M series chip. It’s designed to connect with our NavLINK NMEA 2000 to wireless gateway (running in raw mode for best performance) and will turn your iOS device into a full function instrument display with nicely presented graphical information
Autopilot
It can also act as an autopilot remote control for Raymarine SeaTalkNG™ and SeaTalk1™ autopilots.
Viewing modes
The app is very configurable and offers light and dark viewing modes and some interesting wind and performance displays for sailboat racers
Engine Data

Another useful feature is the depth to speech facility – choose to hear the depth every 3 or 5 seconds and use your devices’ settings to select the voice and volume used to speak the depth.
