N2K, NMEA0183, ETHERNET, FASTNET, WIFI, POE
I normally recommend both. The instrument system will use the GPS information and can send it to Exp, but I always had a separate feed to avoid data precision and timeliness etc issues.
There are another couple of benefits - you will get AIS data form the N2k and if the instrument system falls over, you still have GPS in Exp.
