blasir73 Offline	Hello, anyone knows if depth and position data can be collected wireless live using some Wifi adapter like "sonar server"? This will be great.

DiveExplorer Offline	I have tried with Bluetooth but with no luck as of yet. I have been wondering if Wifi would be better.

Luke,

You can connect the NMEA083 data cables from the unit to a serial connector (only 2 wires to connect).
Connect this serial connector to a serial-bluetooth converter.

If your notebook has no bluetooth on board, you can use an USB-Bluetooth device.

Establsh a bluetooth connection between your unit and the notebook. Start live mapping within Reefmaster.

Hi Danny, yes i know this way, but by using an external BT Sender to establish a BT Connection to the PC,
it call this as the old school way :-))

Currently there is no way to connect the Gen III unit's internal Bluetooth to a PC and use the data, is this right?

I am more interested in the way like skinee told.skinnee wrote:

But i knew this also and wifi is not Bluetooth. :-)

I thought more in Bluetooth and i don't think that Bluetooth was also described in the Tier1 & 2, wasn't it?

Is there a way to connect the internal Bluetooth from the Unit to a PC and use data,
if so please let me know also which data can be used, where can i found an explanation?
