Show me a Furuno GPS, fishfinder or fluxgate sensor with ethernet...

Furuno calls Ethernet "Navnet"....so it can be sold at exhorbitant prices,
in case someone knows what Ethernet stuff costs...(c;

I know that Larry, but the devices I mentioned, do not even have Navnet,
just plain NMEA.....
Navnet AKA ethernet adds so much cost to a device that you only see it on
the chartplotters and multifunction units that already cost a few couple of
grand. And you can see that with all manufacturers. If ethernet was really
that cheap, why wouldn't all manufacturers have already equipped all of
their products with ethernet?
