Floscan is a fuel meter. The only processor it contains is to count the sensor pulses and remember how much fuel has been consumed.
Northstar is a fuel management computer which they bought from Navman. When plugged into a GPS it gives you a wide range of reading, calculations and display options.
Both serve their purposes pretty well. They key to their success is their data source which are sensors spliced into the fuel lines. The SmartCraft uses the ECM feeds which can also be read by automotive scanners. The problem of using just a scanner is that the really useful information such as mpg require a GPS feed to calculate.
