I know that Larry, but the devices I mentioned, do not even have
Navnet, just plain NMEA.....
Navnet AKA ethernet adds so much cost to a device that you only see it
on the chartplotters and multifunction units that already cost a few
couple of grand. And you can see that with all manufacturers. If
ethernet was really that cheap, why wouldn't all manufacturers have
already equipped all of their products with ethernet?

Ah, but your challenge to the poster was to quote these items on Ethernet.
The poster was talking about large commercial ships, which have lots of
Ethernet things, now, from the communications devices back to the company
to the engine control room.
