Mid Wifi Free 1.13

Description:

This is a free evaluation version of MID WiFi. The application is fully functional but the WiFi and GPS are suspended after two minutes. "Marine Instrument Display" is the lighter version without the NMEA support.

Use your iPhone/iPad as an advanced marine instrument display instead of buying an expensive external display. MID WiFi presents the information from the navigation system, the angle of heel and the predicted boat speed. The data (NMEA0183) is received over the WiFi and/or from the internal compass and GPS. The VPP (Velocity Prediction Program) tables can be easily copied&pasted to the application (email, web site).

WIND VIEW
- Apparent / True Wind Angles and Speeds simultaneously
- The size of the blue sector indicates the variation of the wind direction)

MAP VIEW
- View and store the tracks
- Share the tracks by email (GPX)

- Three pages with different font sizes
- Three color modes for day and night (black/white, white/black, red/black)
- Supported units: kt / nm, mph / mi, km/h / km, m / ft, °C / °F

HOW TO USE
- Tap the SET to enter the Settings page
- Tap the value of any field to cycle through the color modes
- Tap the title of any field (such as TIME) to select the data to the field
- Tap a unit to cycle through the unit modes
- Tap the unit (°) of the heeling (HLG) to calibrate (zero angle)
- Press the value of any field at least two seconds to reset the TIME, ASOG, MSOG and TRIP
- Swipe to switch between data pages
- Rename the track by tapping the name of it
- Tap the LOCK to lock/unlock the screen (orientation and other functionality except scrolling and TIME/ASOG/MSOG/TRIP reset)
- Use IP address 255.255.255.255 and port 5005 for Ockam LANbridge (UDP broadcast)
- The location services are switched on by default. They can be switched on/off by tapping the coordinates. It is suggested to switch off before you exit in order to conserve power. If the application is put in background it runs 30 minutes before being suspended.

- The trip time runs while moving (SOG > 0)
- The COG is shown while moving (SOG > 0) (internal GPS)

COUNTDOWN TIMER
- Configure the start time (1 - 30 minutes) by touching the SET to enter the Settings view
- Start/sync the timer by touching the "sync"
- Stop the timer by touching the "sync" at least two seconds
- The timer beeps every minute and when 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 second(s) are remaining

CALIBRATION
1. The back cover must be faced forward accurately in order to get the correct compass heading.
2. Mount the iPhone/iPad securely and make sure it cannot move accidentally to ANY direction.
3. Tap the unit field (°) of the heeling (HLG). HLG is set to zero and the heading shows the correct value.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease batter
