5/5Awesome 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!

5/5Sockets 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.

5/5Works with OpenCPN!
Works with OpenCPN, had to use AI to help me get it going, so far working good.

1/5TAIP 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.

5/5Great app - buy it
I am using Rose Point Coastal Explorer v4 on my boat to augment a Garmin Nav system. I can pull GPS data from the Garmin system, but I wanted to have a backup source. Along came GPS 2 IP, where I can use my iPhone as that GPS source. I’m running Win 10 on a parallels VM on my Mac, and I installed HW VSP3 to create a virtual port on that OS. Once the port is created, it appears on CE4 as a new NMEA 0183 serial device. Just click it, and the connection is made. Not just a great product though. I tried to share the app, with my full-version purchase, on my wife’s iPhone. The app shared, but it stayed in the demo mode. I wrote to Angus, and he is working this issue for me. Angus replied quickly, and he was able to explain why this happened. A fix is in work, and I am very happy with all of these results.
