Free NMEA data viewer,OceanCross

[Quark Elec]

Quark-elec would like to share a free APP, OceanCross, with our customers which we used internally for testing.

Initially, the app was designed to aid the testing of our new products, however we have been asked on numerous occasions if it can be used to monitor the NMEA value via WiFi to keep sailors safe and alert at sea.

The APP is free and needs to run on Android 5.0 or higher on a mobile phone or tablet. Unfortunately, we do not have an iOS version.

In exchange for your feedback, we will reward our “testing team” with a discount voucher to apply on your next purchase in our online store if your comments/suggestions are used to contribute towards the development of our app.

Your feedback is very much welcomed and appreciated.

Download the APK file from:

Please use this APP only for assistance, we are not responsible for accidents caused by using this APP.

From time to time, our customer asked us if there is a free software/App can monitor the raw NMEA data, here you go:

You can find an App which can be used on Android system and application which can be installed on Windows based system.

For iphone user, you can use ‘UDP/TCP/REST’ searching in Apple store and find a proper app(there are a few free ones). Good luck!

Interesting, will provide more feedback when I have my Raymarine instruments Seatalking to my A027.

It crashed when I first attempted to save IP & port for the A027. 2nd time it saved successfully.

Not sure what the “Therme” setting menu item is for, but it doesn’t do anything when I tap it.

The connect/disconnect buttons are not entirely obvious. Some sort of guided, 5 step click-through onboarding tour would be nice.

This is on a Lenovo Tab 10 TB-X304F, Android 7.1.1

1.3 Version has been released recently. This should fix the ‘flash’ issues. Feel free to try and put your comments here.

I have tested 1.3. It’s promissing app however some issues and propsals if I may.

 

-COG not working. Old version however it does!
-SOG would be OK with one decimal only.
-AWA – would prefer needle instead of boat. Plus, at the same gauge TWA would be appreciated since it can be easly calculated using SOG and COG.
-position scale to move after other gauges.
-Screen looses all the data everytime I minimase the app, reconnection required.
