Can anyone tell me if Smartcraft are linkable to any GPS PLotter other than Navman products ?

I'm pretty sure they will accept input of NMEA position data.

The only other one I know of is northstar, but also check out Maretron as I heard a rumor that they were playing with a smartcraft - NMEA 2000 bridge which would then make any NMEA2000 plotter compatable (a much longer list!).

This is for Smart craft 2002 model and newer.

From experience with my 150 Opti and smart craft, there is a blue(-) and a white (+) NMEA IN from the Spedometer harness which link to the corresponding + and - from your GPS NMEA out.


I know this works for NMEA 0183,

Hope there is something useful here for you

Yes they take a regular NMEA 0183 input to show the GPS speed on the Smartcraft instruments - however if you want Smartcraft instrumentation on the GPS in needs to be Navman for now!

Or Northstar if you want a "raymarine" type plotter with integration, but both are owned by brunswick anyway.
