Raymarine talking to Navman

[Ezgoing]

Hi guys

Any one know anything about getting a Raymarine c80 plotter to talk to a Navman fuel monitor or Navman Depth gauge?

It is possible?

How?

We have been having a fair number of problems with Raymarine kit talking to ours.
Interesting that other makes are suffering too.

Raymarine always blame us!!
Odd that our radio's are only need basic NMEA, as do most.

It would seem that the Raymarine kit sends outputs to much info and upsets the recieving unit.

Normally the customer has to go into the units set up and turm off some of the strings in the NMEA sentence.

Best regards

Jon, if that's the case, good on Raymarine. At least the user has the choice of what he/she chooses to send.

The radio should be able to dump what is doesn't require. It is not the only equipment which is likely to be on the NMEA bus and other devices may require some or all of the additional information.

Odd that there are very little, if any interfacing trouble with Garmin kit to anything else
Their kit seems to talk to everything without the problem of changing all the settings.

I stand to be corrected.
