NGW-1-USB is the best solution for those who wish to hook up to NMEA 2000 while still using NMEA 0183 devices. It is a chartplotter option that comes with a USB interface (1.1 and 2.0 compatible) that allows for bi-directional connectivity to a PC.
The Actisense NGW-1 NMEA2000 Gateway makes it easy to link a boat's old and new data networks. This device can convert NMEA0183 data to NMEA2000 and vice versa, which can be configured using the provided advanced configuration software. The software allows for setting up the data conversions required for both directions, and the Downloads tab provides an updated list of the various configurations that the device can handle. By using multiple NGW-1 units, it is possible to multiplex different NMEA0183 devices onto the NMEA2000 network, transfer data items from one place to another, and combine all the data.
The NGW-1 comes with the Actisense NMEA Reader software, providing the user with the ability to view and understand the translated NMEA0183 sentences output by an NGW-1 directly.
The NGW-1 is a remarkable device that provides several benefits, such as upgrading NMEA0183 equipment to NMEA2000, allowing NMEA0183 devices to receive critical NMEA2000 data, and using the NMEA2000 bus to multiplex multiple NMEA0183 signals.
Additionally, configuring it is a breeze with the NMEA Reader, a user-friendly utility.
