Bill,
I have a Zeus Touch 8 and one Triton since last summer. Love it.
My wind and speed data comes from a 1988 B&G Hornet 4 (even older that
Network). I had to install a Hornet-to-NMEA module from Tinley to get the data
in NMEA0183 format, than a AT10 for N2K. The data is only updated once per
second, but is of good quality.
I kept the Zeus 0183 port for my SH GX2150 AIS data.
B&G Network 0183 can go direct in the Zeus 0183 port, or with only a 0183 V1.5
to V3 converter.

My wind/speed/depth are old network B&G, 0183, not seatalk.
The otto is seatalk.
But I would also have to have that StructureScan transducer so I
could see perfect images of the bottom.
This video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlO6naQL0m0
seems to explain a little of what I was wondering about this
morning. It looks like Lowrance owns this technology? , at least that is all
that comes up when I search for it. The Lowrance display in the video is like
a TiVo, you can bring back the images that you just went over and mark them.
Amazing.
I’ll bet you could find your winch handles with this technology.
BTW, who has the Zeus, Pierre, Jean, or Francois?

Bill, I don't think you would
need to replace wind/depth/speed sensor. Seatalk can be easily bridge to
NMEA2000. After all, those are simple N2K message, not quite like autopilot. It
can be done with an ITC-5 or through the existing ST-whatever display.
I feel like a little devil on
your left shoulder.

Well, Damn you, Jean, or
Francois,
You just cost me a couple
hours and no doubt more later, as I sit here slack-jawed watching YouTube
videos of what this is capable of! This looks like watching the Americas
Cup on this little screen! I can’t believe the changing laylines. I
downloaded the manual, this is mind boggling.
I really don’t want to Replace
my Raymarine CRC80 . . .this would also probably require new
Wind/Speed/Depth and Replacing the Raymarine autopilot because of that annoying
sea-talk.
Knees getting weak . . .

Don't mean to beat a dead
horse.. but.
Here's why I spent $900.00 on a B&G Zeus Touch. Rugged
/ Clear Screen in the sun / Waterproof / No-Nonsense functionality
/ integration.
It’s so much more than just a GPS nav..
No-Nonsense functionality: Has both touch and real buttons
that you can use intuitively in the heat of the battle / wearing gloves
Sailing functionality. (Sail Magazine 2013 #1 innovation
award winner: Sail Steer) ETA / Waypoints / Tack Laylines automatically
optimized via knowledge of currents / tides / windshifts / GPS position /
SOG / COG / VMG . .Etc.
All the normal sailing gauges / Drive your Autopilot optimized via
the aforementioned (Sail Steer)
Cool Integration, single interface to view and control from the
helm or anywhere on the boat via an Ipad / Android device on Wifi of the
following:
- Full Audio control --> Control Ipod / Android music
lists, Pendora, Independent volume for speaker zones (Cockpit / Salon / Sub )
(Fusion makes an NMEA 2000 Compliant Ipod / iphone interface /
speaker package (260.00 bucks or so) and a full featured Bluetooth / DVD / CD /
AM-FM / USB NMEA compliant Head unit (About 500.00)
- Radar
- Engine / Fluid levels monitoring
- Sonar
- AIS
- All Sailing gauges VMG / Combined actual / apparent wind /
close-hauled / etc. etc.
- Chartplotter / GPS mapping
Network Integration:
- NMEA 0183 output built-in to integrate with my Autupilot / VHF
- All my new transducers / windvanes / sensors are NMEA 2000 compliant
and on the backbone + There's a standard ethernet network output for cheap wifi
capabilities.
- No proprietary networking to fool with or adapter interfaces
needed. Any NMEA 2000 compliant module / display / Ipad / Android
app that get hook on the Wifi / ethenet can benefit from SOG / windspeed
/ wind direction / COG / GPS coordinates, etc etc
Software is upgradable via
standard sim card / works with upgraded Navionics chats
All of this is plug and play
on a rugged / waterproof device.
In the big scheme of things
and all the money we spend on these boats 900.00 for this much integration and
easy to use functionality is money well spent.
