12v is positive supply from battery GND is -ve from battery - should be common to -ve NMEA data also from device Rx is NMEA+ from device

Looking at my photos it doesn't look particularly oversized. It was either a 25 or a 30. It happened in 2004 so much of my detailed...

Apologies - post 43 doesn't come up for me. Perhaps you misunderstand - I was not offering an opinion this. I was merely trying to...
