Has anyone connected several NMEA devices together?
Here is what I am planning.

GPS NMEA output to
1-PC-serial port for navigation software
2-radar to display next waypoint on radar

multiple NMEA capable instruments to
- PC for display within navigation software

Any comments suggestions appreciated

Doug,

I just had a look at the ShipModul site and read the info concerning both
the VirtualPlex-1 software and the MiniPlex-41USB. Both sounded VERY
interesting. Could you tell me if purchasing the MiniPlex-41USB includes the
VirtualPlex-1 S/W? Is the S/W usable without the hardware? Lots of people
seem to be having trouble simply attaching a GPS receiver to their laptops
because they have no serial ports anymore. It seems to me that the
VirtualPlex-1 SW solves that problem as well.

Any enlightenment will be appreciated.

TIA

Vic

There was a write up in this month's Ocean Navigator. Thus far only 5
products have been fully certified but another 40 are in the process.
Teleflex has a full line of CANbus engine controls. One thing for sure,
it will be more expensive. The prices for just the cable connectors is
outrageous and no doubt we will end up eating our share of the
certification costs. NMEA charges an arm and a leg for almost
everything they do like that.

Well, it's pretty expensive to get NMEA2000 running for the first product.
All standards, testsuites and manufacter- and product ID for the first
product sets you back for $10,500. So I'll stick to NMEA 0183 for a while
:)

As far as I see it, only the big guys go for NMEA2000.
