I have the tach/speedo gauges that display all the many Smartcraft data by scrolling the "mode" buttons but the data is hard to read.
I do not have GPS yet but understand the fuel efficiency data SC calculates will get better if I tie a GPS to the SC system via an NMEA bridge device.
I must add GPS and hope to also add autopilot so the dilemma is do I add a NMEA GPS (Garmin, Ray Marine, etc) which sends its data to SC. Or, add a Northstar GPS (since theirs are the only ones compatible with SC) with multifunction display that does a better job of displaying all the SC data.
I'd like to hear what others have done to add GPS / Autopilot and at the same time improve SC data readout.
