Default Raymarine S1/ST6002 and NMEA

Read a lot of manuals and web pages last night. The ST6002 display
apparently have the ability to display navigational messages on the display.
The manual says "shows heading, locked course and navigational data, and up
to 7 data pages". Combined with your information that they typical dont
relay NMEA sentences on the seatalk bus, one could get the thesis, that you
have to supply the GPS/Navigator NMEA to both. To the S1 computer in order
to stear on the navigational data and to the display to (manually) browse
through the data on the display.

Would that make sense or is that to negative on Raymarine ??

The manual gives a fine list of sentences supported, but it say "on
the S1 computer". There not a single word on the capabilities of the
st6002 input ....

My experience is that the list of supported sentence is all that the
st6002
will support. It will not echo/translate them into SeaTalk sentences.
