NavNet 1 or NavNet VX2 compatibility with NavNet 3

Question

​Are NavNet 1 and VX2 systems compatible with NavNet 3D?

Solution

​NavNet 3D has limited compatibility with certain Furuno NMEA0183 and Ethernet sensors that may be part of an existing NavNet 1and VX2 System. Some of these are the BBGPS, BBWGPS, BBFF1, BBFF3, BBWX1, FAX30, FA150 and most existing transducers. However, because NavNet 3D is based on new technology, there is no network compatibility between NavNet 1 and VX2 processors/radars and NavNet 3D MFD's. Further, NavNet 3D and NavNet 1 and VX2 displays processors cannot exist on the same Ethernet Network. Only NavNet 1 and VX2 NMEA0183 serial outputs may be used to interconnect NavNet 1 and VX2 to NavNet 3D MFD's
