I'm about to add an Airmar 220WX to our boat and have noted some issues with being able to mask GPS being transmitted from it. As in, avoiding conflicts or 'too many' devices squawking GPS onto the bus. Supposedly their Weathercaster will interface with more than one kind of USB-2k bridge.
Any suggestions on bridges? Or ones to avoid? Sometimes it's not about knowing what's good... it's about learning what's BAD too.

Yacht Devices YDNU-02: NMEA to usb: NMEA 2000 USB Gateway
The Airmar unit looks to be the most versatile, in that it has both 0183 and 2k connections. But how programmable is it?
