The Lagoon factory is going to install basic Raymarine instruments (depth, speed, wind indicator, compass) and a Raymarine autopilot.
I want to use MacENC, via a mac mini and a Macbook, for navigation. It seems to me that I can use non-Raymarine GPS, radar, and AIS instruments and just have those all communicate with the macs, with no need for a SeaTlak/NMEA interface. Am I overlooking something? If I go with non-Raymarine equipment, what do those of you with experience with MacENC recommend? I want to purchase the hardware here in the U.S. and ship it over to France where I would have the commissioning company install it.
