Meet NAVLink Blue — a compact, self-powered gateway that bridges your NMEA2000 backbone with Bluetooth devices, turning smartphones, tablets, and BT sensors into powerful on‑board data tools. Model: ZDIGNLINKBT. This bi‑directional gateway brings the boat’s GPS, AIS, instruments, engine and electrical data to Bluetooth devices, while letting Bluetooth sensors feed data back into the NMEA2000 network for a truly integrated marine experience.
-
Bi‑directional data flow: Bluetooth devices can access NMEA2000 data and Bluetooth sensors can publish data back to the NMEA2000 network for seamless integration.
-
Self-powered from NMEA2000: No extra power supply needed — simply connect to the NMEA2000 network and you’re up and running, with an included 1m NMEA2000 drop cable.
-
Easy wireless setup: Configure and pair using just a web browser—no complex software required.
-
Multi‑device support: Connect multiple Bluetooth devices simultaneously for versatile on‑board monitoring.
-
Developer SDK: Access an SDK on Digital Yacht’s GitHub to expose raw NMEA2000 data to 3rd‑party sensors and systems, enabling custom integrations.
-
Versatile compatibility: While you can use NAVLink Blue with the existing NAVLink WiFi gateway, Bluetooth opens up low‑power connectivity and a new range of sensor integrations for your NMEA2000 network.
-
NAVLink Blue and NMEA Remote: Works with the popular NMEA Remote app for iOS, transforming your iPad into a configurable, full‑function instrument display alongside other devices.
What you gain is a flexible gateway that unlocks the data on your boat’s NMEA2000 backbone for mobile apps, sensors, and custom hardware — all without complex setup or extra power requirements. NAVLink Blue is the gateway to smarter, more connected marine navigation and monitoring.
