It sure would be a boost for iNavX if there was a proof of concept with such cable and an nmea device. (I'm guessing that there's a need for some cable adapters but that's probably possible to solve).

I'm a bit new to this all togheter so this might sound like a stupid question but here goes anyway:
Imagine that it would be possible to use such cable (+ adapters?) to connect an nmea device to an iPad running iNavX: Is it only possible to use one nmea device at a time or is it possible to "chain" multiple nmea devices togheter and have them all available simeltaneously in iNavX (I'm thinking about using a fuel consumption monitor, depth sounder, etc). If so, what other equipment is needed in order to achieve such solution?

I've read about console-port to wifi solutions but it just doesn't feel good with a wifi solution in the boat when there is a cable option available. Although I see some benefits with wifi (e.g. being able to play music in your boat by connecting your ipad to your stereo using the connector instead of having it occupied with nmea stuff) it just doesn't feel as reliable. I might be completely wrong, if so, please do point that out and help me understand what a complete ipad nmea solution should look like.
