You cannot use iPhone or iPad as a GPS replacement in the sense that it would provide NMEA data (position, speed, course) to your existing instrumentation system. The devices 30 pin connector is not compatible with external marine instrumentation.
iNavX works in two different modes:
- Using the iPhone 3G/3Gs/4 or iPad 3G GPS to provide real-time plotting on a chart. Much like a handheld Garmin chart plotter.
- Using NMEA data from an external source via WiFi to provide real-time plotting on a chart. Much like a wireless repeater. The external source can be MacENC, Coastal Explorer, or other software that broadcasts NMEA data.
