CONNECTING ECS GPS AIS AND RADAR
 

Hi folks,
i am a rather stupid mewbie to the world of NMEA, GPS, AIS and ECS...
i have
cmaps 4 installed on a pc with
garmin 128 GPS
and a nauticast AIS.
I also have a Bridgemaster radar on my boat...

is there any way that i can connect all of them together and get one
integrated display on the CMAPS ECS???

Hi,
For combining the data from the various sources and inputting it via a
single port in your computer, you'll need a NMEA multiplexer. Have a look

But will it work with the CMAPS ECS??? Im not sure???

The multiplexer combines sentences to a single data stream but leaves the
original sentences untouched (unless you want to make changes deliberately,
by loading a script). If your CMAPS ECS supports AIS and the input port can
be configured for 38400 bps reception, it will work.
