question

The question is: what brand(s) of instruments output NMEA 0183 sentences? All of them? For instance, how about a boat with 20 year old Signet wind and speed instruments? Is that data readable by a PC? How about a boat with brand new Raymarine instruments that seem to be all about SeaTalk?

Also, I though a multiplexer output standard RS 232 serial data to a PC through a standard 9 pin port.

I would be running Windows. I tried Tiki Navigator which seemed to display the charts well but it wasn't interfaced with any other devices.

thanks

Gary
