Armond,
I send GPS data to the multiplexer which then sends it to the computer and
to the radar and to the fathometer display (which is a multifunction
display). This gives me position, COG, SOG, and waypoint info wherever I
want it.
I have the AIS and GPS entering the computer on two different ports due to
the difference in baud rates and the data plots are great. My understanding
of the new Brookhouse multiplexer is that it will combine AIS data with
other data and send it all together.
