NMEA 0183 is a text-based data format that still plays an important role in many maritime systems. For software projects it is useful because data streams can be read and processed comparatively directly.
Typical data
Position, course, speed, depth, wind information, and AIS-related data can be provided through NMEA 0183 sentences. The key is not only reading the data, but validating it and mapping it to a consistent model.
Software opportunity
Many companies do not need new hardware, but software that brings existing data into APIs, databases, dashboards, or reports.
