Would love to find out more about this. The new navico broadband radar seems to be a great thing, however, I am not excited about getting sucked into a Navico brand (Lowrance/Simrad/etc) multi function display. It would be far nicer to interface the unit with an existing PC based chart plotter. The only manufacturer that I know for sure has made their communication protocols known for interfacing by a SW developer is KODEN and the software developer is Rose Point. The owner of Rose Point is an ex-microsoft guy and his product for for windows. I have been running it with Parallels-XP on my macbook with no problems. (w/o radar module)
There are some other SW packages that interface with some radomes but it is unclear who is making the radomes and what the HW & SW protocols are.
More info would be great!!
