Default AIS Position Error?

Miendert,
You are obviously in the position to know.
I just installed all the stuff and it sure looked like BT, but come to
think of it - it did not ever claim to be.

That is all good to know. I'm sure that the owner will be back wanting
something added that will be an issue.

Well Larry,
I just put almost that on an owners new boat.

It's all BT and solarpowered (except the depth sounder needs a battery).



Not quite. They do not use BT, that would use too much energy. Tacktick
developed their own very low power radio and protocol for this. It's a shame
they still need a wire to your computer. We made a customized BT multiplexer
for them, but when the prototypes were ready, they bailed out....
