Hi, I'm new here and I tried to find any information if PolarCom will be in the future also talking with NMEA2000 ?
I am converting my old GrandBanks analog engine monitoring gauges to be replaced with Abatross boxes that translate analog signals to N2K, and i do not like those expensive Maretron N2KView-applications or multifunction displays because i do not want to have more computers on board than my MacBookPro.
I have understood that NMEA1803 does not support those sentences and those can not be found on PolarCom configuration menus.
This PolarCom is really great projekt to find.
I think future is for N2K and OpenSource - hope we users can support you enough to make this PolarCom better than all traditional marine gadgets.
Greetings from Europe, sorry for my poor english.
