Awesome way to get NMEA GPS on portable Linux setups!

Using this to get GPS data to my Ubuntu server setup for kismet during prototyping. The lite version didn’t work but I took the leap and it was well worth it. Works perfectly with my IPhone 16 Pro Max, even in background mode. Exactly what I needed!! Keep up the great work!

Works with OpenCPN!

Works with OpenCPN, had to use AI to help me get it going, so far working good.

Doesnt work

Connected iPhone via Bluetooth to Ubuntu and windows. But not nmea messages are sent. Screen says "Bluetooth connections 0".
Wasted $7

Response from developer

BLE. It is clearly documented on the website. BLE. Not Bluetooth Classic. BLE. It works perfectly, if you checked the website for what it is in fact designed for.

Saves the trip

Some complain that this is expensive or does not work "as expected".
It does work...and allows to use a non mobile iPad for Navigation.
Thanks for making those available.

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.
