AVIA OnBoard NMEA 2000

OnBoard NMEA 2000 Power or Sail Instruments

Replace or supplement a complete set of sailing instruments with our software and a Windows PC, even a $300 Netbook or Mini-ITX computer.

Designed for both power and sailing vessels, the server software runs on a PC which may be hidden below. Monitors with touch screens may be used anywhere on board, the system is connected by WIFI.

One package can handle one set of transducers or network input but the Instruments may be installed on any number of computers which share the data. Input is received from a variety of sources including:

NMEA 2000 compatible engines and generators.
Tank and Battery monitors
GPS sensor or Plotter
Depth, Wind, Speed and Temperatures transducers.
This data can be NMEA2000 or the older NMEA 0183 protocol. In most cases, there is no need to buy new instrument transducers. The system can share GPS data with charting packages such as Nobeltec.

One or two engine Monitoring

The main screen for motoring a single or twin engines shows
Tachometer with fuel consumption data
Speedometer with trip odometer, maximum and average speeds
Smaller gauges for temperatures and pressures
Warning panels for important engine data

Sailing

Sailing's amazing display. Without pushing a single button all this information is instantly available.

The sailing screen introduces a world first, the Real Time Polar Plot, a racing sailors dream. Based on polar data input (once) by the user, the system calculates a polar plot of the estimated best speed in the current wind condition. This is recalculated and redisplayed as the wind changes. The boats actual speed is shown on the plot giving and immediate comparison with target speeds.

For non-racers, a conventional screen with Wind, Speed, Depth and Compass is also available.

Apparent Wind Speed and Direction

True Wind Speed and Direction (the little orange bar to the right of the pointer)

VMG (Velocity Made Good) upwind or downwind

Boat Speed from the speedometer OR GPS (your choice)

Depth in Feet or Meters, with graph and shallow water alarm

Course over ground in Degrees (Magnetic) with compass display

Speed over Ground

Course to Steer (when GPS set to waypoint)

Waypoint ID

XTE (Cross track error)

RESIZABLE to fit any screen layout.
A set of standard instruments capable of displaying this much information would have 3 or 4 separate displays, and many wires and connections and cost OVER $1500!!
