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
