GPS 2 IP

The requirements are technical. Here is my setup, as per the instructions for a iPhone with OpenCPN. iPhone has access to cellphone data and set to share data. Laptop network is connected to cellphone via WiFi (or iPhone cable if you have iTunes installed). GPS2IP set to Sockets and Cellular IP. OpenCPN set to Network and TCP, use the address shown as iPhone Server IP on GPS2IP main screen. The rest is self explanatory or keep default. Happy sailing

I fully support developers getting paid for their work, and a appreciate the opportunity to try an application before buying to ensure it works as I plan to use it. Unfortunately the trial period of 1 or 2 seconds is ridiculously short for any meaningful testing.

Tried the free version which seemed to work but the trial is so short it’s very hard to tell. I had faith so I bought it for $10 and it’s useless for my application. Would appreciate my money back.

I've tried to use it in both TCP and UDP push mode and found that if you define a delay or interval between position updates, save the settings and restart the app, it will never send anything other than the occasional HCHDG string.

Not happy with this app and the amount I paid for it. It did not work the way I had wanted it to. I've read the site several times and was not able to use the app with my phone as I had wanted to. I looking for it to display my location on GRLevel3 and also tried in ms maps and google earth. Gave up and bought a GPS receiver.

This App works fairly dependably. My one constructive criticism may be to incorporate some help into the App. Thanks!

When using TAIP, I am getting an error. There is not mention in the documentation about this error and the developer has not returned my email.

Simple interface and broadcasts gps/heading data reliably. Tried the free version first to prototype, then committed to the full version. Setup - iPhone 11 with iOS 15.7.1 and hotspot wifi - Dell XPS Laptop - Python 3.8 (socket, pynmseagps) Docs on their website are useful! Only downside is the tutorial links are broken.

I am using Rose Point Coastal Explorer v4 on my boat to augment a Garmin Nav system. I can pull GPS data from the Garmin system, but I wanted to have a backup source. Along came GPS 2 IP, where I can use my iPhone as that GPS source. I’m running Win 10 on a parallels VM on my Mac, and I installed HW VSP3 to create a virtual port on that OS. Once the port is created, it appears on CE4 as a new NMEA 0183 serial device. Just click it, and the connection is made. Not just a great product though. I tried to share the app, with my full-version purchase, on my wife’s iPhone. The app shared, but it stayed in the demo mode. I wrote to Angus, and he is working this issue for me. Angus replied quickly, and he was able to explain why this happened. A fix is in work, and I am very happy with all of these results.

The trial version only gave about two seconds to test the app before showing the disabled message. Nowhere near enough time to see if it works in my application. Oh well, I’ll look elsewhere.
