I would like to be able to interface to a native USB port, and I don't think it should be too hard -- but I've not looked into it. At the moment the only USB I do is if it provides a virtual serial interface. I will research the other types of USB connections, and put this on the to-do list, since this seems like an excellent idea.
The NMEA2000 part may be more complicated, though, even though it would be a huge bonus for my program. My new Furuno chartplotter puts out NMEA2000 (I'm just using the NMEA0182 ports), and now that piqued my interest I might pick up that USB interface...
Has anyone found a free NMEA2000 design spec (or something close)?
