Have a Toshiba (bluetooth) with Fugawi Marine Navigation Software and
am buying a Garmin GPS 10 (bluetooth, just announced).

Now I need depth data for the software BUT no-one makes a bluetooth
equipped simple depth sounder. My marine software will handle
shallow water alerts, etc. if I can just get depth data into it.

What can I hook up to a depth sounder in order to send data to my
laptop? "Socket Communications" make a serial port bluetooth adapter
if I can find a simple depth sounder with an extra serial port output
???? Might work!

Many thanks guys from a very frustrated boater!



Sounds like a case for a wireless multiplexer.
