NMEA 0183 equipment
The SPX-5 Sport system can connect via an NMEA port to NMEA devices such as a
GPS or chartplotter.
Data bridging
The SPX-5 Pilot system acts as a bridge between SeaTalk and NMEA0183, allowing
NMEA and SeaTalk devices to share information.
For example, the information received from an NMEA GPS could be shared with a
SeaTalk instrument to provide a separate Course Over Ground display.
NMEA 0183 / Connecting other manufacturers' equipment

for cable details.

Computer NMEA input.
