Bill, I use it to collect all my data from my old instruments, and multiplex it just like a Raymarine or B&G Master control unit. It runs it's own chart plotter or I can send all my data out through wifi to my tablet or laptop and use them as a chart plotter. The card is only $50. A a bit of a headache to set it all up (it took me 2 months off and on) it runs on Linux. It's rather complicated - too complicated for me as I'm not a coder, but there's a full operating system and software (free and open source) called Open Plotter that you install like Windows and it basically sets you up. You have to figure out how it works and follow guides to get setup, but no coding necessary.
