Our boat was delivered, 2006, with just Raymarine equipment using network Seatalk 1(ST1), and some NMEA0183(N1). Updates and additional equipment will use the newer NMEA2000(N2K). We will keep the two well functioning Raymarine 12”, E120, and the radar. In addition, for Navigation purposes, we use the iPad app iSailor.
The easy way to combine ST1 with N2K is to use the Raymarine Seatalk 1 to Seatalk NG(STNG) converter, Raymarine E22158. STNG and N2K is the same protocol, with some dialectal differences, but have different cabling.
Don't miss this post where I'm presenting additional solutions, including a NMEA WiFi gateway, and add ons.
