Common Issues

  • Check the status LED on the Breeze — if it’s off, the device has no power
  • Make sure the NMEA 2000 network is switched on (the Breeze is powered via NMEA 2000)
  • Check that your phone’s WiFi is on and you’re within range

Section titled “Red LED — Breeze has power but no NMEA data”

The Breeze is powered via the NMEA 2000 network but is not receiving any messages.

  • Make sure at least one GPS receiver is connected and switched on
  • Check that both ends of the NMEA 2000 backbone have terminators installed
  • Check that all connectors are properly seated

Orange LED — NMEA data but no GPS position

Section titled “Orange LED — NMEA data but no GPS position”

The Breeze is receiving NMEA data but no valid GPS position.

  • Make sure a GPS receiver is connected and switched on
  • Ensure the GPS has a clear view of the sky (not obstructed below deck)
  • Wait for the GPS to acquire a fix — this can take a few minutes
  • Make sure you connected to the Breeze after the trip and synced — trips are stored on the Breeze and must be downloaded first
  • Check if the trip appears under Trips in the app after syncing
  • Make sure your phone is connected to the Breeze WiFi network (not your home WiFi or 4G)
  • Check the LED — a blue LED means everything is working
  • Restart the Sway app
  • Check your email and password
  • Use Forgot password to reset via email
  • Make sure you verified your email after signing up
