Navionics will get heading and
depth also if it gets it over Wi-Fi.
The main issue here is that there are 2 conversions in the process.. 1st you are converting ST1 to STNG(NMEA2000), and then the Cortex is converting NMEA2000 to NMEA0183 to put out over Wi-Fi. So you have to look at the conversion tables for both devices and follow the path to see if the data you want will be output on the Wi-Fi network for your iPad/TZiBoat/Navionics/iNavX, etc to display.
There are other converters you can use.. For example, the YDNR-02 from Yacht Devices has ST1, NMEA2000, 2 x NMEA0183, and Wi-Fi all in one and you can control how it converts and routes data between the various inputs and outputs.
I know for a fact that Navionics can get
depth, speed,
ais,
gps from NMEA0183 over Wi-Fi if the sentences are present. I mapped a whole bay with sonar in Navionics
boating on a
boat with ST60s. That said I was pulling the NMEA0183 data from the E80s 0183 port and sending it out over Wi-Fi with a Raspberry Pi.

Everything seems to indicate that TZ iboat will not present the data of the ST60 either. You should use the full version of Timezero on PC, OpenCPN or qtVlm to see that data.
