Connect your plotter

With Manta Pro, the app reads wind, depth, speed through the water and more from your boat's network over WiFi. Open Settings → Instruments: Manta searches the WiFi for your plotter or gateway on its own.

B&G, Simrad and Lowrance share the same wireless system. Under Settings → Wireless on the display, run its WiFi as an access point, or connect it to your phone's hotspot.

B&G

• Vulcan 5 / 7 / 9 / 12
• Zeus³ / Zeus³S / Zeus S
• Zeus² / Zeus² Touch
• Zeus Touch (1st gen): needs the GoFree WIFI-1 module
• Triton² / Triton Edge: no WiFi, use a gateway

Simrad

• NSS evo2 / evo3 / evo3S
• GO 5 / 7 / 9 / 12 XSE
• NSO evo3 (evo2 needs the GoFree WIFI-1 module)
• NSX: if nothing is found, look for an NMEA output switch under Settings → Wireless
• Cruise: no WiFi, use a gateway

Lowrance

• HDS PRO / LIVE / Carbon / Gen3
• Elite FS / Ti² / Ti
• HDS Gen2 Touch: needs the GoFree WIFI-1 module
• Hook² / Hook Reveal: no WiFi, use a gateway

Garmin

The Cortex M1 hub streams over WiFi and is found automatically. GPSMAP and ECHOMAP displays share their WiFi only with Garmin's own apps, so use a gateway.

Raymarine

Axiom and Element displays share their WiFi only with Raymarine's apps. A gateway on the NMEA 2000 network brings the data to Manta.

Furuno

NavNet TZtouch displays and the GP-1871F / 1971F serve Furuno's own apps only. A gateway is the reliable route.

Not on the list?

If your plotter's manual mentions NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 over WiFi, TCP or UDP, it works. Otherwise a small WiFi gateway does the job.
