Not sure where to ask this, but here it goes. My SignalK has a 'Data Connection' which I named "GPS". It receives NMEA0183 with "NMEA 0183 Source = TCP Server on port 10110" and my Teltonika router (RUTX50) sends its gps data to this server. Working nicely; can see all relevant data in SignalK's Data Browser. But now I would like a tablet (without gps) with navigation software to fetch this gps data from SignalK. What (plugin) do I need to configure for this to make this possible? Btw, I already have the plugin "Convert Signal K to NMEA0183" installed with GGA, RMC and VTG enabled. And the plugin "N2K AIS to NMEA0183" is picking up AIS and makes it available on the tablet with navigation, on port 10110. But this nav.prog. expects gps data on the same IP and port.

it's on by default point your tablet to port 10110 it will just pass 0183 through to there and anything from sk-to-nmea0183 Make sure "NMEA 0183 over TCP (10110)" is enabled under Server -> Settings you should see gps data there too

"NMEA 0183 over TCP (10110)" IS enabled under Server -> Settings, So that is fine. But don't understand what you mean with: "you should see gps data there too". On that settings page? Does this setting actually make the plugin "Convert Signal K to NMEA0183" unneeded?

no, I mean your gps data should be on that port too 0183 data that comes in should be sent over that port sk-to-nmea0183 for data that does not come from 0183

So if I understand correctly I do not need the plugin "Convert Signal K to NMEA0183" because SK already sends all sk data out as 0183 if that setting is enabled under Server -> Settings. Edit: Success; after I disabled the plugin the tablet started receiving gps data. Cool, thanks.
