It's over a year later (and thanks to our beta testers that
couragously installed it on their boats and your ideas on this
newsgroup) but we've finally launched our 802.11 wireless NMEA server
for the general public.

One of our more extravegant boats has numerous wireless laptops (1 at
the helm drives the autopilot and the others are display only) so that
the owner and guests can see the electronic chart and virtual
instruments anywhere on the boat.

I know our device is on the expensive side so if you're looking for a
less expensive alternative you should also checkout ShipModul's
Bluetooth MUX:

I just want to say a big thanks to everyone on this group who
responded to my post last year regarding a wireless NMEA navigation
server. Based on your ideas and suggestions we've turned it into a
real product and are currently beta testing it with a number of
boats:

Anyhow, thanks again for all the feedback and help in turning this
idea into reality. Now we'll just have to see if there is any real
market demand for wireless navigation ;-)

If the dollar contiues it's downward plunge, I'll soon be able to afford
one!

I think the 802.11b and Bluetooth will become a VHS vs. Betamax battle, with
Bluetooth well in the driving seat at present. Anyone disagree?
