If you have any suggestions to change how pypilot, the pypilot plugin, or opencpn handles this interaction to improve it would be helpful
Yeah it took me quite a while to figure it out, so I thought I'd share it. I love the modularity of it all and how it all fits together makes sense to me. If there's any improvements possible it would be documentation and release notes.
Only since you ask for it, I could imagine that the Forward NMEA functionality presents the incoming data in the nmea debug window, like the NmeaConverter plugin does, tagging its lines as '(virtual)'. This way it'd be self-explanatory. Or, in addition, have two check boxes, like ForwardNMEA and ImportNMEA, with one of those help buttons next to it. This all depends on the shift towards signalk, I guess. But I don't think nmea will be obsolete soon.
