GPS connection

Which is the best connection of a GPS antenna for an H5000 setup or E4 Sailmon setup? Directly to PC or via nmea2000 to cpu and cpu to expedition?

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.
