hi
i'm upgrading my
radar unit - my plan is to upgrade the
antenna array, and to display the output in
opencpn (with no other dedicated
chartplotter or
radar display).
i have an
autopilot with heading
sensor (simrad) that already works with
opencpn and provides heading data to the
software.
will opencpn be able to take the output of a
broadband radar and display it as an overlay using the heading data from the
autopilot heading
sensor? or will i need to
purchase a new heading sensor with the radar?
i would also appreciate suggestions for which radar to
purchase, specifically regarding ease of integration and management with opencpn (when there is no dedicated radar display).
thank you...
