Hello,
I have a very unique situation where I have limited helm space and limited ability to run wires from the radar to the helms. This eliminates the ability to install an MFD and utilize it as a solution. Instead I am looking to see if there are any modern radars that will output TTM/TTL information to an existing navigation computer. This can be accomplished over the existing NMEA newtork, Ethernet, or WiFi already on the boat. Ultimately what I am looking for is to utilize the Radar as an overlay over the existing PC based chartplotter.
If this is not possible, is there a hardware adapter that would allow me to do essentially the same thing as the MFD would without having the display. This way I can tuck away the adapter in what little space I have under the helm and utilize the computer for navigation and radar control.
Thank you.
