AIS - Marine Radio - iPad- Navionics

[backwater dawg]

Is there a Marine radio that has AIS , that I can connect wirelessly to a Navionics program running on a IPAD?
Thanks Steve

What are you trying to do?

Pretty sure NMEA 2000 or Serial are your only options

I have a older Raymarine gps - I want to add a 2nd navigation system and add an AIS marine radio.
I don’t have room to install a built in screen so I thought if I could get this to work, I would just use the iPad when needed.
Or am I better off to connect the AIS to the Raymarine if that is compatible
