The holy grail is going to be when someone gets an open source navigation/radar/AIS/sonar/NMEA2000 project under way. Companies like Garmin sure don’t seem to care about this stuff piling up in landfills after the resale value has been needlessly obliterated. Many Garmin chartplotters are compatible with your NMEA 2000 network.

(sorry if I left a few out) Eventually people will begin thinking twice before dropping $2k on a planned-obsolescence MFD. Garmin’s NMEA 2000 Starter Kit (above) has the essentials you need to install a communications network in your boat, including a drop cable, backbone cable, power cable, T-connectors, and terminator connectors. GPSNavX, the Capn, Fugawi, Nobletec, Rose Point Coastal Explorer, etc, etc, are where it’s at these days. I’ve been screwed by Garmin enough times with their awful BlueChart DRM to never want to buy anything from them again. Platforms like mini-itx may draw a little more power, but at least you’re not forced to discard an entire proprietary MFD when you want to get the next release of the software.
#Garmin nmea 2000 network software
Most of the exciting stuff these days is happening with software that runs on a laptop or low-power desktop platform and is always being extended. I think its best to leave the hardware (sensors, antennas, transceivers, controls) to the hardware people and the software to the software people. Garmin/Nexus GND10 Black Box Bridge (Nexus to NMEA2000 Converter Box) Converts data between the Nexus network and NMEA 2000®, Provides compatibility between Nexus and Garmin products, Simple plug-and-play installation between Nexus, NMEA 2000 and USB, No user setup or system configuration required. 1 Select Menu > Settings > Communications > NMEA 2000 Setup > Device List. I’ve had enough frustrations with mediocre proprietary firmware. Before you can perform menu-based calibration, you must connect the antenna to the same NMEA 2000 network as a compatible Garmin chartplotter.
