We already have it. It's called Ethernet. Even if you have NMEA instruments,
you can use intelligent gateways that already exist. What problem?

I would like to see the community come up with an open standard that would
kill off NMEA. It could stay purely ascii, be bi-directional, easy to
use,
no binary mumbo-jumbo. It could be extensible like XML. Best of all it
would be free for everyone including manufacturers.
