Larry you are one funny guy.


Dont get me wrong, I love ethernet on the boat, and would like MORE
things to be ethernet. I get the weather/radar/chart on the
chart-plotter, like you said, why not make it available as a stream for
my slate?

But nmea isnt for moving large UI stuff, streaming video, etc, its for
sharing data. So I am cool with having a small CAN bus for heading,
temp, wind, dsc, blah blah blah. But I would prefer ethernet for things
like radar images.

Hows that Noland unit working out? The USB unit looks nice, I am in the
market for such a device, but would prefer one with NMEA filtering.
Does the Noland filter? It doesnt look like it from the web page.For
