[C320-list] Blue Sea Vessel Systems Monitor (VSM 422)?

[Warren Updike]

First I've heard of it.  New retail price $360 plus cost of various senders.
Not sure I'd like all the info centered on one display; but, I've have to
see it in operation.  Otherwise, a neat idea.

On second thought, isn't the idea of a common buss (think NMEA 2000) to
support a variety sensors making the information available to various
displays the wave of the future?  Already some of Airmar's sensors are
NMEA200 and NMEA183 enabled.
