Sorry guys if this has been asked here before, but after an hour of searching this forum, I just couldn't find the definitive answer I was looking for. Here are the "givens" in my situation:
I have
Furuno N2k sensors wired into a
Furuno #FI5002 Junction box, which also has two NMEA2000 backbone
ports. From this junction box,
sensor data is then sent to a few
Furuno FI50 displays in my
cockpit. This junction box is located near my nav station.
My Question:
Quite simply, how can I input
sensor data from my Furuno N2k sensors into my
OpenCPN equipped
laptop (with USB ports), specifically
GPS data? Can I tap into the junction box? Do I need some type of adapter cable or gateway?
Regards,
Rob
