AIS on i70

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum firstlight38,

Raymarine's MFDs are not designed to bridge AIS data received from a NMEA 0183 source to SeaTalkng. Instead of interfacing the GX2150 to the MFD's NMEA 0183 leads, it is recommended that the GX2150 instead be interfaced to a SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 to NMEA 0183 data bridging device supporting NMEA 0183 AIS sentences (ex. Actisense NGW-1-AIS, etc.). By doing so, the GX2150 will receive GPS data from the SeaTalkng backbone to support its DSC communications features and will additionally support transmission of GPS data to the SeaTalkng backbone for use by the system's a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs and i70 MFIDs. Please additionally note that the i70 MFID require heading data or that the vessel be making way and receiving GPS COG to display AIS target data.
