Marine Standard Useful for Auto Applications?

August 24th, 2007

I get a lot of e-mail, including the Monitor, an e-mail newsletter from Windmill Software in the UK. In their latest issue, they make reference to NMEA 2000, a standard drafted by the National Marine Electronics Association that defines the requirements of a serial data communications network to inter-connect marine electronic equipment on vessels.

While written for instrumentation aboard boats, it may also have applications in the automotive industry, especially those parts that define messages from GPS receivers. For more information, read the article, “NMEA 0183 Sentence Structure”.
