Monitor, record and share all your onboard data sources.
The DataHub® is a GPS tracker and smart device for all your marine data and communications.
GPS tracking page
Share your GPS position, live weather, blog posts and photos, with friends and family. This alerts them if your boat stops or goes off course.
Real-time data
No other device allows you to share your live wind speed, wind direction and boat speed to your GPS tracking page.
Accurate GPS
The DataHub uses the GPS data from your instrumentation system, for 100% accuracy and reliability.
Works on and offline
GPS tracks are saved while you’re offline, then uploaded once your connection is restored.
"The DataHub was able to broadcast our highly accurate Raymarine GPS over wifi to all our devices on the boat."

View up to 300nm range AIS on your chartplotter.
The DataHub now delivers global AIS data to your chartplotter and nav apps, with Over the Horizon AIS (OHA).
If you are sailing at 10 kt using regular AIS and a container ship is sailing directly towards you at 25 kt, you only have 8.5 minutes to react and alter course. On the other hand, OHA would provide you with 8.5 hours warning time.
OHA requires a PredictWind Pro forecast subscription and is not compatible with the Iridium GO!
Find out moreAI Polars reference real-time data to learn the way you sail your boat, to create hyper-accurate weather routing.
Simply plug in the DataHub to your boat's instruments and turn on the automatic AI Polars. PredictWind will then track your boat’s real-time data and automatically create an optimised boat polar for your unique vessel and sailing style.
This feature requires a Pro forecast subscription.
Monitor your boat from anywhere.
View your boats position, live N2K data and weather forecasts, on or off the boat. Customise your alerts then relax knowing your boat is in good hands, with the Anchor Alert App.
Advanced features require a separate Anchor Alert Pro subscription.
Like having your instrument dashboard with you 24/7, below deck or ashore.
Find out moreShare N2K, GPS and AIS over Wi-Fi.
Share your boat’s NMEA 2000 data over Wi-Fi allowing navigation apps including Aquamap, OpenCPN, Navionics, iNavX to view the vessels instrumentation.
Share GPS, depth, wind speed and direction, speed through water, water temp, AIS targets, barometric pressure and more.
Additional features.
Firewall Protection.
The DataHub firewall blocks unwanted traffic to eliminate runaway satellite airtime bills and replaces the need for any other firewall device. Compatible with all connection types.
Remote NMEA Streaming.
Monitor your vessel remotely using NMEA0183 streaming over the Internet, drawing data from your N2K network wherever you are. Easily check wind speed and direction, depth, GPS position, AIS, and other N2K-compatible information.
Offshore Messaging.
Get optimized Whatsapp and SMS messaging offshore with PredictChat.
Optimized Email.
Send email at 1/1000 the file size of regular email with PredictMail.
Whale Watch
Monitor whale sightings on your chartplotter or navigation app. Protect vulnerable marine species, including the North Atlantic Right Whale. Orca sightings coming soon.
Broadcast Internet
Broadcast your internet connection to all of the devices onboard. This is useful when a mobile provider only allows for one hotspot connection.
AIS Data
Collect and upload AIS data from all surrounding vessels to the global AIS network. Also share AIS data with navigation apps such as Navionics.
Autopilot Integration
Use AquaMap, OpenCPN, iNavx, MacENC or GPSNavX to control your autopilot with the DataHub N2K interface.
Data Logging
Record GPS tracks, and key instrument data for future reference or in the event of a collision or insurance claim.
Remote Support
Allow support personnel to log in remotely to the DataHub to diagnose and solve issues throughout the entire vessel.
Backup Communications
Automatically switches to your 4G/5G backup connection if your primary internet goes down, so you’re always connected.

Frequently asked questions.
The DataHub is not a Satellite Communication device. You will still need the Iridium GO! or some other satellite communication device when you are offshore, so you can download weather data and send/receive SMS and emails.
The DataHub has a built-in GPS antenna which enables you to have GPS tracking when sailing coastal. It uses your cellular data to send the position reports as it collects them. When you are out of cellular coverage, it can save your GPS position reports and upload them to your PredictWind tracking page when you are back in range.
Buying the DataHub hardware has a one-off cost. To use GPS tracking and have a unique tracking page to share with family and friends, you need the standard or professional level of PredictWind forecasting subscription. AI polar generation is a professional-only feature. Click this link to see PredictWind forecasting subscription prices.
When you travel offshore, you need a satellite device like the Iridium GO! to download weather routing and GRIB files and have GPS tracking, but once you are inshore, you can cancel your airtime plan to save money. Then, the Datahub can seamlessly take over and continue updating your GPS tracking page using cellular data around the coast as it connects to your cellphone hotspot, USB tether, or local Wi-Fi. Even if you drop in and out of cellular coverage, the DataHub will collect position reports every hour and then send that spool of data to PredictWind to update your tracking page as soon as you regain cell coverage again.
If you have a network on your boat, the cable pack allows the DataHub to connect to your boat's existing NMEA 2000 (N2K) network. Then the DataHub can utilise the external GPS and other devices on the N2K network. Insert the T-Connector into your N2K network, then connect the 2m cable to the DataHub, and you're away!
Yes, your boat needs to have an NMEA network that the DataHub can read to be able to collect the boat variables that are then sent back to the PredictWind servers to update the AI Polars.
