Bjarke,
No they don't. Most yacht units force you to use their fluxgate compass as a
heading input. Commercial units have a selector function and they can accept
step, sine/cosine, servo/resolver and others. The yacht unit I have seen
only use their own fluxgate. That's why I asked the question.

As mentioned earlier the Raymarine corepacks do NOT need their own
fluxgate and WILL accept heading from NMEA, including fast heading (10
msg/s) from a decent source. They also accept analog heading change from
a gyro, but at a fixed input voltage/degree/sec.

Just curious -- which "yacht units" have you seen that only use their
own fluxgate that are suited to be rigged with external pumps?
