Sitex GPS Plotters and Waypoint Uploading
Does anyone know if there is software that will allow waypoint
uploading from a PC to a newer Sitex Gps plotter? |

David,
I hate to be the bearer of ill news, but no. A client bought one and has since removed it for this reason. The only choice is to buy a C-Map Planner package (~200$us). That is a package of software, C-Map user memory and a USB writer. That will allow you to configure waypoints and write then to the C-Map memory and then pull them into the Sitex. Needless to say, this prevents any realtime route changes while underway (a common issue in keel boat racing). It will output NMEA navigational data for your autopilot and tactical package. But like so many navigators - It just doesn't listen....

I have a question: the Si-Tex plotter can read NMEA messages WPL/RTE?
If it can do this, it could receive the wpts and routes from any PC software wich could send these NMEA messages. And maybe, another gps could send its wpts and routes to the Si-Tex plotter too? Pascal |

Pascal,
No Si-Tex that uses C-map can receive WPL/RTE data via the NMEA input. It will send data for external ploting and autopilot, but that is just about it. I was going to work on this more, but the owner just informed me that he is giving up on the unit. I am scheduled to remove another Si-Tex next week because the owner can't load race information without the extra stuff and hwe does not like the fact that he can not share date between the naviagtor and the tactician's GPS.

It is a shame because it is the first Chart Plotter I know to have
support to an AIS receiver. BTW, I do not found in your site, the NEW Si_Tex (?) NASA AIS radar or the NASA Black Box AIS Engine. Regards Pascal |

Matt,
In your site, about the new chartplotter Garmin MFD 3005C, it says that there is a LIMITED support to the GMR20/40 radar sensors. What are these limitations compared to the others two MFD's 3006 and 3010? Thanks Pascal |

Pascal,
My site is not specific. I do hope you do not think I am actually associated with a manufacture. We just install and service what owners (most of whom are very serious keel boat racers) want. I do my best to supply them with information prior to purchase, but they do not always consult and, in the case of Si-Tex, the manuals were never available on line for me to study. Most Garmin manuals are on line and the support people respond to e-mail in reasonable time.
