Raymarine C80 - Wont acknowledge "Stop Goto"

Not having Heading data doesn't seem to make any difference as to how the XB8000 actually works in the host boat but presumably it makes a difference to what receiving ships can see on their screen?

It is them I'm worried about after the incident I referred to in my earlier thread.

I seem to be capable of missing big ships. Not sure that one was intent on missing me!

Also, I'll bet the OPs issues are nothing to do with the WiFi. But at least thats simple to prove.

Nothing to do with wifi per-se ..... but unless you have wifi and intend to use it there is no point in connecting up the NMEA output from the chartplotter to the NMEA input of the AIS. Once you do make that connection in order to generate the wifi information, you create the possibility of a data loop.

AIS units don't normally transmit their own GPS onto the bus for that reason. You normally have to enable it to do so. But in this case it's not the GPS data that's causing the OPs loop. It's bearing/waypoint data generated by the plotter which it's getting back a few seconds after it has cancelled it.

The manual for this device states that it puts its GPS signal on the NMEA output.
