NMEA2000 and autopilot integration

[Knaz]

I have Actisense NGT-1-USB bi-directional gateway PC-SeeTalkNG.
It work nice - i can see traffic between EV-1 and p70 units with NmeaReader (from Actisense).
But when I am try to connect autopilot EV-1 with OpenCPN in Track mode I got "No data" on autopilot.
Big trabble - OpenCPN send NMEA0183, EV-1 wait NMEA2000.

What advice? Change NGT-1 on NGW-1 with USB-serial converter? Or may be other options?

Best regards,

Andrew...
Yes, currently you need NGW-1 or similar device doing NMEA0183 <> NMEA2000 conversion to connect OpenCPN to a NMEA2000 network.
