Sound Speed Manager - NMEA 0183 interaction

.. index:: NMEA; 0183

A basic NMEA 0183 listener is available to capture the current location via a UDP broadcast of NMEA 0183 $--GGA or $--GLL sentences. This feature can be used to associate the current position for sound speed profiles that do not store location information.

Open the Setup Tab and set the NMEA 0183 port in the Listeners sub-tab (see :numref:`nmea_0183_listeners_fig`).

Sound Speed Manager Setup Listeners dialog, with the Listen Port setting and incoming NMEA 0183 data highlighted in red.

Then, switch to the Input sub-tab (see :numref:`nmea_0183_input_fig`) and set True the Listen NMEA 0183 field. After a restart, the current position should be displayed in the status bar.
