Hi all! I'm putting together a shopping cart to build my chart plotter, from scratch. I'm a bit confused on what to order with my MacArthur hat for gps and ais. do I in fact also need a daisy hay or maiana base kit? And antenna or GPS antenna? I'm a little confused as what's needed! Please help, I was hoping to put this order through tonight!

If you want to receive AIS, then you'd need a dAISy HAT. If you want to also transmit AIS, you will need a MAIANA instead.
MAIANA comes with an integrated GPS receiver. If you don't have MAIANA, you could buy a USB GPS puck for location data.

If you need Maiana, wait a little bit more. This month should be on stock, again.
If you will have MacArthur hat, the base kit is enough, you don't need a NMEA adapter.

Yes, I'm working on it, final steps of production.
First batch should be ready this month.

That's great! Once available, what website should I purchase from? I'm located in the US.

I'm not 100% sure but I think will be the same site for worldwide orders. At least for now.

I am sorry, but I do not think so. Let's see how things turn out. It will not be the first time the King has regretted it.
