1044.0. "NMEA 0183 protocol..." by STIMPY::QUODLING () Mon Feb 22 1993 23:26

    A friend has just bought a large motor cruiser (an ANGEL 56' to be
    precise.) He is looking at updating some of the satnav/gps/radar etc...
    and has asked me to help. He is also a basic computer buff, and will
    have a MAcintosh on board. It came to mind that we might be able to get
    the Mac to listen to and/or command the nav gear which all claims to
    talk to each other via a NMEA 0183 protocol. Does any one have, or know
    where I could get specs on this protocol?
    
    thx
