| 11. Tacktick wind instrument : Is it possible to get an NMEA feed from this? I.e., wind speed and direction? |

|
| 12. TackTick T108: what does the 'no NMEA' interface imply..? |
| The NMEA interface box enables the TackTick units to 'talk' to other (non tacktick) equipment. If you dont plan on having the wind/speed/depth data sent to a plotter for example, you will not require the interface box. If you do want it to intergrate with an existing system, the box will be required which means a T104 will be needed. |
