I have read some of the archives on NMEA handling and been boggled by the brilliance of some contributors.
What I am wondering if there is some way to have one NMEA talker feeding more than 3 listeners, ie through a Picaxe of some description. With parallel hardwired listeners, 3 is the limit before it goes wrong. I want to be able to send GPS signals to VHF radio, radar, autopilot and laptop for navigation and AIS plotting. Thus need GPGLL, GPRMC, GPAPA and GPAPB, AIVDM at least.
