I will start by stating that I am electronically challenged so please keep explanations simple if possible. I will also state up front that I searched this forum for answers to my question and they were so technical in nature I got totally lost. Perhaps that is the way it has to be and if so will have to hire someone anyway here is my question:
I have a autohelm st6000 and sea talk 1 installed on my boat. Currently this system interfaces to an old Garmin Chart plotter that I understand works OK providing waypoints and tracks to the autopilot. I want to install a radar package from Garmin that includes chart plotter 742xs which has nmea 0183 input and output ports. It is my understanding that the st6000 and seatalk1 also have nmea 0183 capability.....
Has anyone had any experience hooking the older auto helm package to a newer technology chart plotter. Thanks, Cliff
