Today a fair number of marine electronics still use the old National Marine Electronics Association 0183 networking protocol, which includes some AIS and autopilots. But the most notable are ...

NMEA 2000 has taken the fundamentals of 0183 and multiplied its capabilities to give you remarkable command and control of your electronics and electrical equipment — more than many boaters ever ...

NMEA 0183 is a protocol that governs data from marine navigational equipment. The most obvious is GPS, but there are a lot of possibilities like sonar, a gyrocompass, and an autopilot.

The National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) has released a significantly updated version of NMEA 0183, its well-known standard that enables the interfacing of marine electronics, reports the ...

You may have heard about “NMEA data” with respect to GPS. NMEA can be confusing because there are a few NMEA messages, not just one.

Three new appendices were also added: NMEA 0183 Sentence Information, NMEA 2000 PGN Descriptions, and VHF/DSC Wiring Information.

He used the NMEA-0183 standard to communicate between the USGlobalSat EM-406A GPS sensor and the micro controller. The micro controller then communicates with the NXT using the I2C protocol.

The messaging format is also standardised, with data being output in the NMEA-0183 format. This standard is well-documented for those wishing to parse the data.

In the decades since, the NMEA 0183 data standard has improved marine electronics communications and is now found on a wide variety of non-marine communications devices today, including smartphones.
