Although it usually works well, there may be conditions that cause the AIS link not to work, or to cause issues. Below is a list of actions to take to make\/restore a good connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Checklist<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Make sure your smartphone\/tablet is updated to the latest operating system (iOS\/Android)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Make sure you have the latest version of the Waterkaarten app on your smartphone\/tablet<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Close the app on your smartphone\/tablet<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Turn off wifi<\/strong>, mobile data<\/strong>, GPS<\/strong> and Bluetooth<\/strong> on your smartphone\/tablet<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Switch off your smartphone\/tablet<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Switch off your AIS device\/setup<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Start up your AIS setup. Are you working with a multiplexer? If so, boot up your AIS device first, then your multiplexer. Make sure the AIS device you are connecting to is in Ad-Hoc or Access Point mode, i.e. not linked to an internet hotspot or router<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Restart your smartphone\/tablet<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Turn on the wifi on your smartphone\/tablet and connect to the network of your AIS device<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Open only<\/strong> the Waterkaarten app, no other apps<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Connect to your AIS device in the app by entering the correct IP address and port<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. Connect with one<\/strong> smartphone or tablet to your AIS device<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. Activate AIS on the chart by tapping the AIS button at the top right of the chart<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  14. Give the app 10 minutes to retrieve all data (such as ship name, type etc) from the shipping around you<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  15. Test the setup while sailing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The Waterkaarten app uses the AIS and GPS data from your AIS device<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    If you are stationary in port, your AIS device may stop broadcasting GPS updates after a while because your boat is not moving. As a result, the app does not see your location. Sailing, however, does not cause a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tested<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The AIS link is compatible with virtually all AIS receivers and transceivers with a wireless (wifi) network. We ourselves tested mainly with Quark-Elec and Em-trak AIS devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Quark-Elec<\/a> wifi networks:<\/strong>
    Wireless network password: 88888888
    IP address: 192.168.1.100
    Port: 2000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Em-trak<\/a> wifi networks:<\/strong>
    Wireless network password: emtrakais
    IP address: 192.168.2.1
    Port: 5000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Note: Garmin and Raymarine AIS devices do not transmit AIS over wifi, and to use GPS, a Garmin and\/or Raymarine device requires a plotter. If you want to view AIS from your Garmin or Raymarine AIS device in our app, you will need a multiplexer to connect to our app.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","faq_categories":[],"class_list":["post-16868","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAIS checklist - Waterkaarten<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/waterkaarten.app\/en\/faq\/ais-check-list\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"AIS checklist - Waterkaarten\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Although it usually works well, there may be conditions that cause the AIS link not to work, or to cause issues.
