I run Open CPN on a netbook, so it's a bit different to you having Navionics on a phone or tablet. The plotter is an ancient Navman, but it all works fine, and I also have a dAISy AIS receiver connected to the 38,400 port.
If I connect the netbook to the Yakker via "Create Access Point", it works fine but I can't access my phone (for internet).
But if I select "Connect to Router A/P", the Yakker reboots and connects to the phone, which then routes it to the netbook. That allows simultaneous access to NMEA and internet.
The timing of initiating the Yakker mode and phone personal hotspot is important: I find selecting Router A/P first then starting the personal hotspot a few seconds later works best.
Also, if you have a Twin, note that the latest URL has changed from 192.168.4.1 to 192.168.5.1. Having the old URL still up on the website is pretty unhelpful.
Hope I have helped,

hmm.. i will have to send an email to the developer, perhaps navionics has changed things around. indeed, I have discovered the change in the IP address. the yakker now adds a well needed wifi capabilitit to the Lowrence Hook 5, but dtill, it won't auto route, hence I use the navionics app as a navigational aid and as a back up plotter.
May I ask what maps do you use with the Open CPN? Since it does not come with maps. While USA and NZ has free maps accessible, but here in Oz, yeah, nah...
