NMEA Connections Question,
I have a Magellan hand help GPS currently connect to my Simrad Tiller Pilot. I have finally purchased a new VHF with the NMEA capability. I believe there are only two wires (IN/OUT) on the GPS. My question is can I just splice together so that the GPS will share data with the VHF & Tiller Pilot or do I need some kind of interface device?
I do know that the Baud Rate, Data Bits, Stop Bits need to be the same for both the Tiller Pilot and VHF. But what if they are different?
Thanks in advance.
