Your boat’s electronics network is full of useful data. Yet so many boaters are unsure what information is there, or what they can even do with it.

We recently presented a short webinar: “Using Marine Data in the 21st Century”. This webinar focuses on how you can make the most of NMEA data, how to connect to your PC to analyse the network and data, and how to have access to your data in the palm of your hand, through the world’s most popular boating apps. Plus, we also gave a sneak peek into the new OneNet standard.
