Plastimo claim the navman 500 has an nmea 0183 output, so it should be able to run a suitable repeater, of any make.
At least I think that's what an nmea 0183 output's for....

If you are not sure what the 500 can do, go to
www.navman.com
and ask the makers in New Zealand. They are very helpful.

You certainly can....
i did so on the last boat using a Cetrek cockpit repeater.
The only problem was that if you told the boat to "goto" the cursor position it gave cog & sog on the repeater. If you told it to "goto" a saved waypoint then the sog & cog were missing on the repeater screen. Even navman in New Zealand never sorted that one out.
Had I kept that boat I might have interposed the units as when sailing single handed there were many occasions when a plotter chart would have been most useful in the cockpit and position cdts would have been sufficient at the chart table for hourly plotting purposes.
