Hi, im thinking about the Vulcan 9 for my yacht.
Now i have few qestions im thinkig about:
- can i use the old depth sensor with coaxial wire from the old depthfinder? I need just the depth. (important)
- I have an old Navico hydraulic autopilot (1996) - will it work together? (not so important)
- the Navionics charts are some special or i can download it as i have it in my phone? Or is there some cheap source for charts as i would like to sail around the world again and dont want to spend all money for charts... (without charts is this device useless :-))
Thanks for any reaction! Stan

Hi Stan, you can only connect NMEA0183 or NMEA2000 devices to Vulcan9, no coax analog without interfacing to one of the above. Old AP won't work since it has no NMEA2000 interface and software. All kind of Charts will work from Navionics, C-Map and NV-Charts. But no chart from Navionics Mobile App. As example look online at the C-Map chart explorer to learn about coverage and sizes.
