Smart Repeater
Smart Repeater mode is started by changing “Display Mode” in Settings on the a10
app to “Repeater”.
In smart repeater mode the d10 acts as a repeater displaying either internal sensor data
from the d10 and connected sensors or NMEA data streamed over a connected or
WiFi network.
ere are 4 pages that can each have 2 sets of data saved for display. You can also use
the Timer and Distance to Line functionality in Smart Repeater mode.
Starting/Stopping Timer and Grabbing Pin and Boat are controlled only by the a10
app when in Smart Repeater Mode.
