Hello all,
I just purchased a 2008 GW that has a full Furuno set with the NAVnet vx2 Navionics gold, radar, sonar, chart plotter. The problem is I am a Garmin or Raytheon user and familiar with NEMA2k and I'm a little lost. My first thought was to take out all and put a new Garmin system in, but everything works and seems like it works well, so maybe I just leave it in place. Can I get some guidance on the following?
I have 2 RDP 149 displays with 2 additional smaller displays with depth, temp, lat/long, and a Simrad AP.

- Is there a black box somewhere that ties them all together, or do they function via the 149 units?
- I want to add, class b AIS, will the FA70 Furuno work with this system?
- I may replace the AP with Garmin or Raymarine, can I make newer NEMA2k products work with this system?
- The NAVionics card is outdated and is 128MB Can I upgrade to the newest version?
