Hi. I have a perfectly working GP-7000F chart plotter/sounder integrated with Raymarine autopilot.
Have just installed an NMEA2000 network with a Furuno NMEA Data converter (IF-NMEA2K2), so that I could distribute some of the GP-7000F GPS data (NMEA0183) to the newer network (NMEA2000) and gauges.
NMEA 0183 port 1 does the autopilot. Have used NMEA 0183 port 2 to interface with the new NMEA2000 network (via the Furuno data converter).
Data is being read from the NMEA 2000 network on a Lowrance guage.
Integration and data conversion seems to have gone half OK, as can report Depth/Water Temp/Ground Speed and system time (with a qualification below) to the new network. However, have not been able to establish position nor heading data on the new network? Have tried switching various output strings on and off (and for those reporting to the network I can see them come and go as switched), however nothing appears to work for the posn/heading data of the related strings?
Another issue that is likely related...... The GP-7000 time reads correctly on its screen (UTC+8), however the Lowrance guage reports UTC and unable to add the +8 (seems to be overwritten by the string coming out of the GPS)?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Obviously happy to help with any additional info or data that might be required. Thanks.
