I am confused as well, I have not figured all the nuances out with the Raymarine, but I understand the Navionics takes sounding data and uploads for the common good. Found this on their site, does this mean it transfers date to your mobile device, then to them?
navionics.com Press release Plotter Sync to include wireless chart updates for Raymarine! Navionics, the leader in content and location-based services for the recreational boating and outdoor markets, announced today significant expansion of its innovative Plotter Sync functionality for use this spring with Raymarine WiFi-enabled multifunction displays. Plotter Sync leverages the power of the Navionics Boating and Marine & Lakes mobile applications for iPhone and iPad and the wireless capabilities of Raymarine chartplotters to deliver an exciting new level of data sharing to and from the Navionics Freshest Data servers. With Navionics Plotter Sync and a WiFi-enabled Raymarine system, boaters can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing they always have the most current charts on their boats, as well as participate in the Navionics SonarCharts™ program to continuously enhance available mapping detail for everyone. Plotter Sync updates Navionics chart cards with Freshest Data via Navionics Boating or Marine & Lakes without removing the card from a plotter. Plotter Sync also enables active SonarCharts™ users to share logged data quickly and easily. Logs automatically sync with the mobile app and are uploaded directly to the Navionics server for incorporation within the Navionics SonarCharts™ layer. Manual PC upload compatibility with Raymarine sonar logs will also be supported with Raymarine’s spring release of LightHouse II software. “Navionics Freshest Data is the only solution on the market that ensures boaters access to the most current charting data available on a daily basis and with Plotter Sync, the process of accessing that data is now effortless,” said Giuseppe Carnevali, president, Navionics. To use Plotter Sync, boaters with a compatible Raymarine WiFi-enabled system simply download the Navionics Boating or Marine & Lakes app to their iPhone or iPad, and register their new chart cards on the Navionics website. Freshest Data is automatically downloaded to the mobile app, and when connected wirelessly with a Raymarine plotter, the mobile device transmits up-to-date chart information directly to the chart card. The new Plotter Sync functionality is the latest innovative enhancement to Navionics Boating and Marine & Lakes — the world’s best selling mobile apps that provide boaters access to the same great charting detail, powerful features and location-based services and information found on today’s GPS chartplotters, right in the palm of their hand. Availability Navionics Plotter Sync for compatible chartplotters will be available this spring.

For example, my E7 broadcasts wifi, but I don't think it receives. Am I wrong (again)? Joel On Fri, Sep 11, 2015 at 9:44 AM, Jerome Tauber via CnC-List <[email protected]> wrote: I would go wireless. This is from Comar Systems web site. An NMEA WIFI unit provides a low cost method of setting up a wireless network on board and to use available Apps on your iPhone, iPad or PC to display all your electronic data including position, AIS data, depth, wind, compass etc. With 2 NMEA inputs which are multiplexed to a single high speed data output it can transmits NMEA 0183 data over WIFI for viewing on a smart phone or tablet using suitable Apps or a PC Navigation program, and provides 2 way communication between the WIFI device and any suitable NMEA devices. With 2 inputs, it can accept NMEA 0183 data at 4800 from any GPS, Chart plotter or Instruments, plus a 38400 baud input from any AIS receiver or transponder, so you only need one unit to collect and transmit all the navigation data to your portable device over WIFI. For a vessel with a chart plotter at the nav station, using the Comar NMEA-2-WIFI, the helmsman can view all the navigation data on deck via an iPad or iPhone and for boats with the chart plotter at the helm you can check all the critical navigation data down below, making your boats data truly portable.

There needs to be a terminator at either end of the backbone, after the final “T” for equipment spurs. Hopefully the “network” line you cut into is the backbone cable, not a spur. In this instance, you’d have been far better to use all the same type of cable/connectors as the existing backbone, then use an adapter cable to go to the VHF as needed. If the existing NMEA2k network was Maretron, for example, disconnect the backbone at the location closest to the VHF, put in a Maretron “T” and another backbone cable to where you broke it; then a Simrad to NMEA2k adapter spur to the VHF.

With the NMEA 2000 cable connected, I only have the NMEA 0183 source available on that menu. That is how I drew the conclusion that the radio does not see the 2000 network.

That currently has 2 Triton displays, a Zeus Touch 7 MFD plus wind and speed/depth transducers. Everything is connected via NMEA 2000, there is no 0183 on the boat. There was no convenient place to tap into an existing T connector, but there was an existing network line running close to the radio. We bought 2 Maretron micro-c field installable connectors, a premade Maretron cable and a Lowrance T connector. I could not find Lowrance/B&G connectors anywhere. I cut the network wire and wired the new connectors according to the color code on the connectors. The color code on the connectors matched the colors in the B&G wire, so I figured I was good to go. When I hook things back up, the existing instruments work fine, but the new radio is not seen by the Zeus, nor does the radio see the network. Since the existing stuff all works fine, I am assuming that the wires are connected in the same positions on the connectors. When I unplug it, I lose all the transducers. I am currently thinking that either the new premade cable is bad, or Simrad B&G uses a different pinout for their connectors than the one specified by NMEA, which Maretron follows. I plan to test the cable using one from my boat, but can anyone confirm the pinout on a B&G system for me? Any other ideas about what to check?
