Good afternoon all.

For instance, if I want to receive the brainaid NMEA info on an android phone, does anyone knows what will be the process/program to be used?

Note: Android OS doesn’t “work” with JAVA.

Thank you.

You can have brainaid running on your PC and receive AIS targets and such on your Android device with qtVlm installed on it. Just a matter of configuring the correct IP address (your PC address). But of course it is a bit useless since it works only within the range of your wifi network.

Viva Philippe.

Yes, the problema is mobility, i. e., being away from WI-FI signal coming from a connected Client machine.

Anyhow, thank you.
