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 ??

No, you only have to supply NMEA to one. I have the S1, with the GPS
connected to the computer. The display shows the GPS NMEA info, SOG,
XTE, etc.

My experience with Raymarine, about 10 years, has always been that
NMEA data fed in will propagate along the Seatalk as well.
