I have old Stowe Navigator 1, Navsounder and Windvane heads, all the sensors don't work. I don't have any databox. The wiring on my boat is a nightmare to get to and instead of replacing these old screens in the cockpit, I was wondering if I could use the existing wiring and screens fed by data from OpenPlotter over NMEA 0183. Did you get yours to work, do you think it would be possible to have them display data?It’s exciting that you’re diving into OpenPlotter! Reusing your existing screens by feeding them data from OpenPlotter over NMEA 0183 is definitely possible. With the right configuration and adapters, you could breathe new life into those old displays. Best of luck with your setup—OpenPlotter’s flexibility is a game-changer!
