NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000

[hanbrowes]

Hi, thinking of upgrading chart plotter. Have B&G Quad which work on NMEA 0183 and new chart plotter on NMEA 2000.
Is there anyway to get the instruments to work with the new chart plotter without replacing the wind and transducer?

Will the new chart plotter not accept both feeds?

Which chart plotter did you buy?

I use this to share data across the two protocols http://www.actisense.com/products/nmea-2000/ngw-1/ngw-1

But that may not be necessary, depending on which plotter the OP has bought. Many plotters will accept NMEA0183 data as well as running an NMEA2000 network.

My B&G Zeus2 plotter will talk to three listeners on NMEA0183 but will only listen to one. Having just about finished installing the Zeus and Triton instruments I can see that it would be a shame not to utilise the full capabilities of the plotter with NMEA2000 instruments. It looks superb so far.
