Field notes
The page describes chart display using S-57 vector charts with S-52 symbols, depth areas, and light sectors, alongside route-following estimates such as cross-track error and ETA. Connections can receive supported GPS, AIS, and instrument data over Bluetooth, USB, TCP, or UDP, and selected NMEA 0183 sentences can be forwarded. The site labels some dashboard images as simulator captures and says NMEA 2000 hardware support remains in development.
