I posted the question also in the slack channel for dev-signalk, tkurki answered it with some pointers, here is the thread:

signalk-to-nmea0183 is the logical place for the conversion, but it needs all these paths https://github.com/SignalK/signalk-to-nm...js#L42-L44

otherwise there is no output

and nextPoint needs to be an object with properties`bearingTrue` and probably also bearingMagnetic

@AdrianP thoughts?

will freeboard-sk-helper follow a route or just navigate to the next point?

which is essentially Go To

APB has also stuff like Arrival Circle Entered and Perpendicular passed at waypoint flags, that the “navigation computer” should produce, that I assume nothing produces and that are not handled by sk-to-nmea0183

…but then again, why do we need to convert everything to 0183, when PyPilot is open source, and it could support SK directly? sure, it already does support 0183 and will probably do so in the future, but isn’t it kinda lame to tout A Free and Open Source universal marine data exchange format (now where did I get that catchy phrase…) and then use a legacy format between SK server and  PyPilot?
