Hi all,
I have
Raymarine ST60
instruments and I wanted to be able to see their data at the nav table. My first instinct was to get a repeater, but the sticker shock drove me straight to the
internet in search for an affordable alternative.
Through some forum--maybe this one, I'm not sure--I learned about
YAPP Electronics. John builds a very affordable
SeaTalk to
NMEA interface box that connects to a computer through USB. He's quick to respond to questions, even though he builds this device in his spare time.
Once you have the data on USB, the sky's the limit. I use
OpenCPN,
NavMonPC and various iOS and Android apps to see the data from the
Raymarine instruments.
Do you have your computer connected to your instruments? If so, what do you use to look at the data?
