SailGrib WR displays AIS targets received over the Internet through the AISHub service.
We encourage you to contribute by sharing data from your AIS receiver while sailing. This will turn your boat into a mobile station. Targets received by your boat’s AIS receiver will be displayed in green, those received by the Internet in blue.
Here is the procedure to follow:
- Go to the GPS NMEA AIS menu > AIS settings
- Check Share AIS data. These data will be disseminated on AISHub. They will be accessible on SailGrib WR, Weather4D and all sites like MarineTraffic, VesselFinder…
- Check Share own ship data. Meteorological or hydrological data from the boat such as average wind speed and direction, gusts, atmospheric pressure will be shared with all SailGrib WR and Weather4D users. The targets will appear in light blue on the screen.
If you have difficulties connecting to the NMEA + AIS feed via WiFi and at the same time remain connected to the Internet via 4G, you must delete the “default gateway” of your NMEA + AIS multiplexer
- Open the Android Settings app
on your device.
- Go to the WiFi settings
- Select the WiFi network of the multiplexer to which you are connected and display its settings.
- In the IP settings, change DHCP Protocol to Static (or Manual)
- Delete the default route or gateway (often of the type 192.168.86.1)
- Press the Edit Network button
You should now be able to receive your NMEA and AIS data while remaining connected to 4G.
Be careful, this procedure does not work with all multiplexers. Some, like the vYacht, refuse to delete the “default route”.
