Chapter 6: Installation
The NMEA 0183 standard carries similar information to SeaTalk.
However, it has the important difference that one cable will only carry
information in one direction. For this reason NMEA 0183 is generally
used to connect a data receiver and a transmitter together: for example,
a compass sensor transmitting heading to a radar, or a GPS sensor (or
Chart Plotter) transmitting position and navigation data to a radar.
