TAIP giving an error, no reply from developer for help
When using TAIP, I am getting an error. There is not mention in the documentation about this error and the developer has not returned my email.
Sockets work with Python!
Simple interface and broadcasts gps/heading data reliably. Tried the free version first to prototype, then committed to the full version.
Setup
- iPhone 11 with iOS 15.7.1 and hotspot wifi
- Dell XPS Laptop
- Python 3.8 (socket, pynmseagps)
Docs on their website are useful! Only downside is the tutorial links are broken.

Fantastic budget chart plotting
GPS2IP allows the very accurate GPS from an iPhone to be transferred to a Wi-Fi only iPad running Navionics.
The iPad and the iPhone must be on the same network but do not require to be connected to the internet. To create a network on my boat I am using an old BT home hub so the iPhone and iPad are quite happily thinking they are on a network.
To get up and running make the router the Wi-Fi device in settings on both devices. Run GPS2IP on the phone and you will see displayed iPhone server ip. In Navionics on the iPad use this ip as the Host for the device pairing option.
You will be up and running and see your position, heading etc on the iPad.
I boat on Loch Lomond so a word of warning for those in reach of a cellular signal. Do not let the iPad use the phone as a hotspot as Navionics can use up a lot of your data plan syncing and downloading.
To quickly acquire the satellites I also use a satellite antenna and signal booster.
GPS2IP is very robust, does not crash, loose satellites, or suddenly drop out.
It means I can safely follow a previously set up route in pitch darkness navigating safely amongst the islands.
The very modest price of GPS2IP and an old iPad gets you an excellent chart plotter for vastly less than Garmin.
I would recommend this product to anyone who wants affordable chart plotting navigation.
If you are having any issues getting set up the developer will give you plenty of help.
This will revolutionise low cost navigation.
