    I got burned by this. I had an Ethernet cable that was just a bit too short for the run I was trying to make. I knew I had the 30' from the TM thought I could swap them. Found out after I had...

    Will the G4 output NMEA data to earlier Generations? If I hook NMEA directly to the G4N can I show motor data on a G3N?

    Ok, maybe my wording wasn't very precise. However my statement "The subsribee is doing the signal processing" appears correct per your response. So, if a Gen4 unit is sharing its data and the...

    So the auto-pilot and spot lock are not available through the X-press menu, but cruise control is? That doesn't seem well thought out to me, but it appears to be correct. I don't understand why they...

    Not sure what you mean by under navigation. It was on the same screens on the sonar. One image I had the ipilot controls turned on taking up permanent real estate on the screen. The other with it...
