And we shall always need this way for NMEA to be collected from or distributed to our legacy instruments,
But thing don't happen by pure Hazard ! The upcoming of Signal K in both Openplotter and OpenCPN show than both dev teams are going in the same direction, and I could feel a kind guidance to go that way, so I wouldn't be surprised if Signal K became the only way to follow further future developments ...
Therefore, the GPSD path, with its automatic hidden signal K connection, could be the solution as a single connection (with a priority set to >0). Wait and see ...
