NMEA 0183
NMEA 0183 defines the electrical
interface and data protocol for
communications between marine
instrumentation. Many times referred
to as “NMEA” in the context of marine
instrumentation communications.
NOAA (National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration)
NOAA is a federal agency focused on
the conditions of the oceans and the
atmosphere. NOAA supplies navigation

Relative Wind Direction
On-board wind direction measurements
Jeppesen Workboat Navigator derives
True Wind Direction from Relative Wind
Direction by taking any bearing deviation
into account.
Relative Wind Speed
When the boat is in motion, on-board
wind speed measurements. True wind
speed is is derived from Relative Wind
Speed by taking the boat’s motion into
account.
Repeater
A feature used to output all incoming
NMEA data to other devices.
ROT
See Rate Of Turn.
Route
Desired path of travel, created on a chart
or grid and consisting of starting, ending,
and any number of interim waypoints.
Scroll
To move different parts of a long list
into view, using the arrow buttons or
