Anyone here with knowledge interfacing Raymarine with Smartcraft? Have an a78 (shoulda gone bigger) I've been running since 2015 and also have a level 2 Mercmonitor. My original setup was an A68 I used as plotter only (DS600x was my sonar) and fed GPS to Mercmonitor using 0183. When I upgraded to a78 and N2k I inquired on the Ray tech forum for proper components to install an N2k network with Smartcraft and the discussion is still available on the old Ray tech forum - http://raymarine.ning.com/forum/topi...ne-for-new-a78
I've never been able to get GPS data via Smartcraft to use ECO feature (real time MPG) which is something I really like having. I'm sure I could revert back to 0183 but don't understand why I can't get the network to supply info. This should be simple, but if N2k won't work, I'll go back to 0183 just hate messing with 28awg wire.
Any insight appreciated, oh, boat is 80mi away so can't just run out and check something.
