An excellent device to transmit engine information to your GPS for less money than other options.

An excellent device for transmitting engine information to GPS. On a 2018 Volvo Penta v6-200, I had to unplug and rearrange the wires from the connector to connect to the Vodia connector, according to tech help. It's pretty easy, or buy a Volvo Easy Connect adapter for around $22. Ideal for determining the ideal cruising speed for fuel economy and evaluating the propeller. Used with simrad go7 and nmea starter kit (version 3t)

Pros

High voltage isolation between J1939 and NMEA 2000 interfaces; only listens to the J1939 network; J1939 data logging for diagnosis and tuning; comes with free diagnostic software for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux;

Cons
