About Link: Connect Your Boat

The Link app gives you remote control of wirelessly connected Simrad, Lowrance, or B&G multifunction displays from your smartphone or tablet. Link lets you select any wirelessly connected display on board, duplicates the screen in real-time on your mobile device, and puts control of most display functions at your fingertips.

Work with charts, sonar, and radar, control your on-board entertainment system, view data from connected engines and instruments, and much more. With Link, you’re constantly connected to your boat’s key systems from anywhere on board – making it easier to plan trips, fish, sail, handle maintenance, and otherwise make the best of your time on the water.

Link also gives you the ability to wirelessly back up and restore waypoints, routes, tracks, and display settings directly to your mobile device. This makes it easier than ever to protect your valuable boating data against loss or theft, and to keep your backups up-to-date with zero hassle.

The Link app is compatible with Simrad NSS evo3, NSS evo2, NSO evo2, NSS7/8/12*, and GO series displays; Lowrance HDS Carbon, HDS Gen3, HDS Gen2 Touch*, HDS Gen2**, and Elite Ti fishfinder/chartplotters; and B&G Zeus³, Zeus², Zeus Touch*, and Vulcan sailing chartplotters. Displays without built-in wireless connectivity require an additional WIFI-1 module. To enable the Link app, a free software update may be required for your display.

Link works with the Apple iPhone 5s and later devices running iOS 9 or above.

Never works

I’ve been able to pair the app to my Simrad GO9 a couple of times and everything worked pretty well. However, I’ve never been able to save any trip info, waypoints, etc. to the app for viewing at home. In fact, at home I can’t even get it (the app) to bring up ANY information. Lately, every time I try to connect to my on-board Simrad the app says my password is incorrect - IT’S NOT! Can’t even connect. Will delete this app and am searching for a better one.

Sort of works

Installed this on a new iPad to mirror my HDS Live unit in the back of the boat and the screen mirroring seems to be lower resolution, the transfer button won’t upload my recorded data to C-MAP Genesis, keeps saying “Can’t Login” “Check username and password” yet I can login on the website just fine. Been like this end of summer and now fall. A bit frustrating.
