TZTouch2 + M506 = further dissapointment

[Anonymous]

Again, I just installed a butt-simple system consisting of:

TZTouch2, 15", running latest 2.05 firmware
Transducer
Icom M506 VHF, N2K, but no AIS, running latest 1.004 firmware

The TZ2 and M506 are connected via N2K. It would be really hard to have a simpler system. But when I go into the Sources page on the TZ to select my data sources, why does the M506 VHF show up as the current and or preferred source for data that it can't possible every under any circumstances provide?

See attached screen shots. The VHF is listed as a valid source for:

Heading
Drift
Attitude
Roll
Rate of Turn
Rudder
Atmosperic pressure
Air temp
TWA
AWA

What the heck?

The reason the TZtouch2 sees the M506 as a source for all data is because it is the only device connected to the NMEA2000 port. Please see the previous thread for further explanation of your issues.
